Hi Bryan,

No, I don't want to jump in here because you already did everything that 
would be conceivable to do.

I just want to *really* thank you for the hard work you got involved and that 
you carried out with one of the highest levels of professionalism (and 
patience :)) very few of us could ever equal (not I, for sure).

I thank you also not for the technical hints you gave to Krish, instead for 
your your choice "to not rob [you] Krish the opportunity to learn".

Actually I was tempted to write something like "first do this, than that, and 
finally run this tool". But I was able to desist, by learning from you how 
people should be helped for real.

Most of us here should learn by your attitude.

Thanks again, seriously.

Regards,

Fabio
