Answers.Text: Could you elaborate on your answer, because at present it is not sufficiently informative? "will likely not distribute it lightly", what does that mean precisely by means of example?

Answers.Text: Thank you for your comments. I will take a look at EGA. @citronrose very good suggestion, I thought about it myself. Unfortunately with the current climate, and with everybody working from home, it's not as easy to contact people as it once was, I will give it a go though.
