Do all your quotes contribute anything to the question? They just read like a rant. Please also don't repost the exact same question you've already asked somewhere else, that's not good for the SEO of Codidact. Instead tailor your question to the site you post on. (more) |

@#64628 Thanks for providing more information to clarify your situation! However your edit changed the premise of your question quite a bit and the answer you already got no longer fits your question.
