I completely disagree with your assessment of that. I have some new ideas on where to look for information, but i certainly haven't had a single question addressed.Both AK and myself have tried to explain as best we can, why it won't work properly with fewer resistors but you seem to be tone deaf to that, so I don't think I can be of any further help.
Unless you can find someone else to help, you're on your own, as AK and I are both out.
I understand i'm not paying, and appreciate the fact you guys even read my words, but if you think i'm tone deaf... you haven't addressed post 1.
