It sure didn't, but your posts so far have done nothing but perpetuate
it. Every post you make just turns people off even more. Trust me when I
say that's not the way to inspire someone to help - here or anywhere else.

I have been self-employed for 46 years in a small business, one that
grew from a childhood enterprise. I don't have a clue when it comes to
coding, or for solving your problem in the way you want it solved. But I
can tell you this much: if this is the way you approach all those who
supply your inputs, your business is doomed. If you want someone who is
providing something to you for free (or even those who do it for pay) to
go the extra mile for you, you have to cooperate, not confront. From the
sound of it, you need them more than they need you. You would do well to
remember that.
