Ya I see that..

I tried removing entirely as you suggested.  I am getting this error now:

Warning: The unit file, source configuration file or drop-ins of lightningd.service changed on disk. Run 'systemctl daemon-reload' to reload units.
Job for lightningd.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status lightningd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

>>I executed system systemctl daemon-reload and tried again but got the same error.  Here is the system ctl status:


● lightningd.service - C-Lightning daemon

Thanks so much for your help, please don't hesitate to let this be at any moment as it is totally possible I screwed something up that you can't see in the instructions you provided.  I will take no offense to that. Cheers!
