Well, Saliene, we can make it work--it might just be 1 of those duct
tape-it-together-bail-wire-it-together type of solutions lol. One
would prefer something more elegant. However, elegance is often little
more than a pipe dream.
Do whatever u think you'd like to do & I'll help if I'm able & u want
me to. I'm glad you're doing well w/Beezid in spite of the
difficulties.
Truthfully, I doubt Beezid would care if you're a green martian who
stands on their head & types w/their beak lol. All they really care
about is making $$$. But I could be wrong & I know of a certainty I'm
cynical.
I do wish u much success.
