Without addressing your questions, the second of which is prohibitively expansive, I'd like to indulge in some virtue signaling in pointing out that addressing forum members as "sirs" is inaccurately and inappropriately male normative, in that there are likely more female forum members than male, and you exclude these female members in addressing your question to "sirs". In short: It's wrong and even dangerous to address women as "sirs".
