There is a key that is two spaces to the right of the "M". It looks like a little dot. We call that dot a "period" and we use it to delineate sentences, which makes it easier to read the written word. Try it sometime!

Why start another thread of the same thing. You were given some suggestions to try in the other post you made.

He posted similar threads in both, General and Tech. The one from General got moved to Tech and now it's like one of those mystical animals with 2 heads . Perhaps it might be a good idea if they could be merged into one.

Very true and, on top of that, it seems that a big block of "text" was entered twice. It goes from the beginning to almost the middle of the post, and then it goes again with some variations, finally adding a few more lines to close it. I had a hard time trying to make sense out of it as well and hallucinations going through the duplicated thread
