And that's why you're confused and unhappy.

I understand your failure to accept responsibility for a misguided belief is 
causing you pain, frustration and dissatisfaction and you want other people 
(me) to offer some form of compensation.

The fact is dorinfo1.def dropfiles do not provide node numbers. They never 
have, and never will. It's not in its specification, which remains unchanged 
to this day. And you're disputing it - that's why it's a problem for you.

Your values and beliefs are not aligned with what the external environment is 
communicating to you, and naturally you expect to seek remedies to rectify 
the emotional imbalance you feel with respect to this matter.

Well, there's no remedy.
