@gazumped@PinkElephant I'm sorry I wrote the word "rude", it seems to have obfuscated my question and maybe felt rude in itself to you. I was just so frustrated that Evernote, instead of letting me use platform #3 (web), at least in some barebone mode, while #2 (Windows app) wasn't functioning, told me to pay or just be content with one platform. I wasn't able to use #1 (on Android) when this happened, so it was extra frustrating. I thought your answers weren't very helpful, as if you hadn't read what I actually wrote and felt annoyed with me, but I'm aware that I was part of that problem.
But all well that ends well! And this did! Thanks again @Dave-in-Decaturfor your patience!
