There is no need for sarcasm. I just like to put people out of their misery when they are tearing their hair out (really struggling). I was so surprised to find anyone (except the desperate) still seeking help from the forum at this stage, I thought I'd do what I could. I certainly didn't think the Thought Police would still be active on it. Keep up the good work. I bow to your status as self-appointed arbiter-in chief. Apologies if I have offended anyone.

Firstly, grateful thanks to Tatters and Turast. I could have stared at the grid for another week without seeing the final step(s).

Secondly, I am sorry if I have triggered a controversy as Quisling`s post suggests. This site is called Answers Only: I asked for answers and people were kind enough to provide them. Where is the problem?

Can I suggest all parties withdraw to DEFCON 3, followed by a phased withdrawal of forces over the next 12 hours?

I’ve seen how this ends.
