I appreciate your helping out a fellow user! but that's not the convention for Ask HNs - those are supposed to be text posts, not links, with a question being posed by the submitter. This is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html.
Thanks & apologies. I was trying to respect the desire to leave it as an Ask HN, but where we are now seems like a better fit & you're of course right on the FAQ. Thanks again.
