Request to reopen unjustly closed thread

I would like to request to reopen this thread. As I understand it the OP simply wanted to wait for alternative suggestions on how to proceed. He did not feel comfortable with the proposed way so far. The OP was neither disrespectful nor did he insult anyone. As I see it, the thread was closed prematurely.

There is a linked thread in post #2, also made by the OP, where the discussion should continue.
