Hey Sid, thank you very much for the feedback — it means a lot to me, and it's made my day! Unlike forum posts, where you can quickly get likes with little effort, I put hundreds of hours of work into this article. Without any feedback, except from the publisher himself (which could just be out...

I read that but didn't get it. But that could also be due to intellectual deficits on my part.☝️ 🙂
