As to the speed finding & fixing the issue, I personally thought things happened pretty fast to arrive at the eventual resolution. I think Stefanik deserves an extra cookie of credit here for having the idea to substitute sprom images. Everyone who helped out gets cookies as well for outstanding effort.

I'm typically ambivalent of/to the spelling differences you speak of, so I am truly apologetic if that stance has upset/affronted you or anyone else on this list.
