I AM NOT THAT WORTHY:

There are many more eminent on site.

One fact or give away is just to think outside the box, often when I do not come up trumps, tend to think further. If SS in a google search or similar, results with nil - attempt steamship, MV, etc, etc. More the thought that goes in than just a request. Often it works or then try harder.

Not taking the preverbial, just trying to help.
