No feedback for the thoughts ventured?

You need to learn how to read NNTP header tags. Had you done so, you
might have noticed that the OP posted a bit after 9 AM GMT from the
British time zone. You posted your first response around 4:40 AM (19
Nov) from Singapore's time zone, which would be around 8:40 PM (18
Nov) GMT. In the OP's local time, if the OP posted from work in the
morning then left work even as late as 8 PM (so 40 minutes BEFORE you
posted your 1st response), there would have been NOTHING to which the
OP could sensibly respond/for which to provide feedback.

You probably need to wait until 5 PM your time (9 AM GMT) for the OP
to have a chance to see your first response. Right now (as I write
this, 3 AM GMT 19 Nov) the OP is either asleep or has much, much
better things to do than check newsgroups.

Patience!
