Thank you for your help, Ched. I must point out that I had originally requested review of this dispute but was DIRECTED  to continue discussing this before that could happen. See Transportman's note. I am no troll and would never addressed these people directly on my own.  Thanks to your intervention, I can now proceed to pursue mediation as I originally wanted.  Why is it that "incivility" is generally the accusation of people who have both hooves in the trough? I am grateful for Dreadstar's help in reaffirming that aphorism.

On another note, I received three email message from Dreadstar that she had left me messages, but - being blocked- could not read them, nor do I see them here today. It is remarkable being admonished by infallible people.
