I am not the one who reported the problem originally; I'm the one who was offering a workaround for the problem originally reported in the Quicken Community (not in this newsgroup).

That is the "solution" posted by the originator of the discussion in the Quicken Community - it was not me who made that statement, I just quoted the originator.

Yes I was the originator of that idea - here in the Quicken newsgroup, not in the Quicken Community where this discussion originated. 

Your previous two sentences are in direct conflict with one another: because the first notion in the first sentence was posted by someone else, while the notion in the second sentence was posted by me. My offering pointed out that the original poster did not need to Validate.

That is the workaround that I posted; just curious why you felt the need to repeat it. I think your "potential solution" is duplicative of mine - but framed in a series of comments that are more confusing than helpful.

Am I missing something?
