Usually, when no one's questions are answered the reason is simple: No
one knows the answer and no one cares enough to research it.  That's
unfortunate but there's no way around this.

Since this is obviously important to you, why not avail yourself of the

Or, possibly, somebody who knows the answer will stumble onto this
thread and enlighten all of us.
