The last few days I was on a trip, so was not able to respond promptly
to requests, besides, I did not want to write the answers in a hurry.
But now I'm in the workplace and within three days I will try to
respond to all requests, but if you do not get an answer from me at
this time, please email again, the letter could have been lost. I
apologize for the temporary inconvenience.

Meanwhile, David Sparks wrote an excellent review on inShort, for
