Luke, I'm sorry for your situation but I don't think this is the
appropriate place to solicit this kind of support.

We're going to shut this thread down. Please do not reply to it.

There is some ongoing discussion among the admins due to various
concerns that have been raised about this thread. To prevent it
from turning into a larger issue this thread needs to end now.
