Please, when you reply to digest messages, copy just the message that you want to reply to and change the subject line of the reply to match. 

My name “consistently pops up” because I’m one of the core developers of GnuCash.

No, this won’t solve your problem because you don’t have a Mac.

I do see from the list archive that you were left hanging last June with F::Q refusing to download your stock prices because it didn’t recognize the symbols. If you’re still having that problem perhaps you could share a couple of the symbols.
