Sorry for taking so long to get back to things, I have been moving house
several times, kept me busy, plus other life chaos that has mostly settled now.

Similar problem with my last move, the company that supplies the fibre to
the home has no record that the fibre modem is actually in my home and
wired up. They want to charge me hundreds of dollars to send a tech out
here to officially nod their head at it or something. I'm just using my
old 4G SIM modem instead, and this place has lousy reception.

So which of the two email addresses on this mailing list do you want to
use? I'm guessing the Lucas one and not the Jing one.

This brings me to the reason why your email was delayed getting to the
list. You had lots of addresses in the To: field, which the mailing list
software didn't like. Dunno if all those other mailing lists you put in
To: had the same problem. So I had to manually approve your email.
