I'm no longer willing to answer all of your questions and request for guidance sent in private as you keep ignoring questions & feedback and still looking for other "interesting" items to contribute. Let's not waste your and others' time. I don't think this is going to work out. Expect NACK on your future slab contributions. -- Cheers, Harry / Hyeonggon
