As far as I know, this topic is often discussed or posted by others (but I appreciate your efforts to make something you think is good), and what you should know is try to research something first before publishing it,

and I think the way you write is very uncomfortable to read (try to distance each sentence and use some of the features provided by this forum like Bold or maybe Color).
