I take this as Master request and a clever one.
The rest I pass.
Whatever cause Ralph stop responding sure he have very good reasons.
I hope he is not ill or have some serious and unknown problem.
Being only a worker , I can't communicate more often.
And I put my best on 3.10 , taking many hours to test all.

I do mistakes and apologize to all by it.

Edgar
