PrimeNumber7’s earlier reply to me had some prior context; it would be known to those who have read the thread, and related discussions in 2020. I have been actively protective of Lauda’s privacy since she disappeared in 2020, and I repeatedly spoke about that within the first 14 pages of this thread. I infer from PN7’s prior post that he remembers all of these discussions.
Why the sudden display of concern? Despite your prior DT interactions with Lauda, you first showed up in this thread on 3 August 2022, on page 14; and you very evidently had not read any of the thread. It is inappropriate for you to be second-guessing Lauda’s friend and throwing negativity onto something joyful, from a professed concern for Lauda’s name and memory.
Lauda generally liked what I did for her. I think that’s patently obvious—as was her general desire to be remembered by things I did for her. I usually didn’t ask her beforehand when I easily could have, and she was always delighted. Your above-quoted question is also directly answered by a prior post on this thread, which has been linked from my unpaid signature for the past month; it is quoted above, with some other relevant prior posts.
Now, please feel free to take a shot at solving this jolly good puzzle. I know that you had positive interactions with Lauda; and the puzzle is a fine way to scam you into reading her final thread. Furthermore, although I know that it may take awhile to solve this one, or it may even remain unsolved indefinitely, I am waxing a bit impatient. I have been contemplating another puzzle, with some enigmatic ideas that I didn’t use for this one; but I am reluctant to detract from the existing puzzle by adding new puzzles, while this one remains unsolved. So, please solve it if you can! 😼
P.S., please stop top-posting. Thanks.

I created the puzzle because I wanted to do something here that I think she would have appreciated, for the enjoyment of everyone who misses her.
I have sometimes thought about making a Lauda website—aye, a stereotypical Internet shrine. I almost did, back in 2020. I didn’t (yet?), for I have some doubts about whether or not Lauda would want such a thing.
[...] something fun and challenging in Lauda’s memory, like the sporting games that the Greeks played at the funerals for heroes in classical antiquity. 😺
Any for of contribution that keeps alive the memory of Lauda would generally be considered a good thing by most since she was popular but what would she have thought of it herself? She removed herself from the drama in the forum for reasons unknown. Do you think Lauda would be supportive of her name/memory being attached to the puzzle?
