 All script are provided as-is with no implicit
 warranty or support. It's always considered a best practice
 to test scripts in a DEV/TEST environment, before running them
 in production. In other words, I will not be held accountable
 if one of my scripts is responsible for an RGE (Resume Generating Event).
 If you have questions or issues, please reach out/report them on
 my GitHub page. Thanks for your support!
