Second this. The detail I would add is minor and it is already implied above.

Adding the part of the answer the thread has not reached. It helps to say which part of this you are uncertain about. A precise question gets a precise answer; a general one gets everybody’s favourite anecdote.

OP back with an update, since a thread like this is useless without one.
