Oh, I'm usually the Queen of stupid questions. Maybe I was hesitant to ask because of the possibility of adding insult to stupidity. There is a bit of a language/cultural barrier, and my question could have seemed to insinuate either incompetance or fraud. Now I think I can actually frame the question in a way that insults no one .
