Good leads and links that pinpoint the sources and that's what I
wanted.  Trouble is the other report by another was virtually equal,
and I hate arbitrary decisions on anyone's part.  But this is the one
I'll go with.

There are some great links here by you!  I really appreciate your
obvious effort and veracity your effort demonstartes in this complex
question.  Wish I could have selected you, but there were several
keywords Kinglouie-ga's response caused me to react to.  You're a very
good researcher and it will tell positively in your ongoing efforts. 
Be seeing you!
