To be honest, if everyone followed your suggestion and started threads of their own instead of first searching for existing threads, forums would be chock full of duplicate questions.
They already are chock full of duplicate questions, so what's the difference? Generally, if a question isn't answered within 24 hours, it will always fall off the first page of everyone's lists. It is effectively dead at that point. Apple employees called "specialists" may attempt to revive it by posting some links to support articles that may be applicable.
I replied initially to this thread as it amused me that it went unanswered. But since you replied, I piqued my interest to delve further in search of answers. With that said, you're the only person to respond to this thread, and although I can see you're trying, you've not really helped in any way. I shall therefore leave this thread to rest in peace.
There are only a handful (like 5) people who ever answer questions in this Developer forum. This looks like something I would have answered back in the day. Now that I think about it, I was in graduate school then. That is probably why I missed it. Such is life.
You could try your question in Apple's other set of developer forums (https://forums.developer.apple.com). But I have to warn you, questions are even more likely to go unanswered there. The forums are much less active, so you don't have to worry about falling off of page 1 in six hours. But that means you may wait six weeks for a reply.
This particular question would probably get an answer. I sure can't imagine it getting any different answer than what I've already provided. Good luck!
