I said: "However, your question is too too wide and any answer is a mere speculation. Ok, my answers (speculations)". I did not claimed. I entered in the terrain of the speculations..... I did not claimed. I only said a mere speculation if you can undertand. Your information was interesting for me but your opps,,, apsss,,,,,, remove your serious sense of the information. That is. Now, you pretend create a long thread from a speculation. My god.
