It's a link to a 'reply' type posting and that may be the problem. It also could be that it's a reposting by someone I follow of someone I don't follow.

It's not something I can diagnose without lots more testing, and since I'm retired from my IT job, I'll just leave it there.

It is already set up and we would need to to have 7.5% annual tax to provide it.
