Very childish reasoning considering your initial post. Don't understand why you'd waste people's time and suggestions for the sake of amusement.
I don't mean to keep quoting you @Pain Brain. Your posts keep showing up in convenient places.

That said, this post highlights the reason only a qualified professional should provide advice.

Everyone else here is operating under assumptions that are likely incorrect.

It's kind of like when police kick in the door to the wrong house and arrest (or shoot) the wrong person because they were operating on bad info from the start.

Then the victim(s) and/or their family(ies) sue the department and/or the individual officers into oblivion.
