@BartV Bart, I was aware of the reconfiguration of the links in that consolidated thread, and I do apologize for that.
I selected the link to that one-page consolidation of my long thread because I found it to be the most readable, with no advertisements and little visual clutter. But that tool did reconfigure the original links, and I cannot edit that page.
Here’s an alternative, which does preserve the originals:

If you have more ideas, I’m all ears. Thanks.

At least one parser was written to deal with many Twitter Problems, including this:
"The links are all obfuscated in a short form using t.co, which hides their origin and redirects traffic to Twitter, giving them analytics. Also they will stop working if t.co goes down."
