In your previous message you said:

The only difference between those two different expressions, by you, of
what you meant (other than "do not" => "don't") is "should" => "should
not", a difference that changes the meaning radically. I hope you can
understand how such tiny discrepancies can lead to major confusion.

I believe that the earlier the poster is re-directed to a more
appropriate forum, the better. He or she will get better answers sooner
that way.
