Not that I need to defend myself to you, but in the face of such offensiveness (in both senses of the word): - I left in the "rant" as it was germane to my comments. I note that *you* didn't bother snipping it, though, for some reason... - I don't believe I was condescending, lacking in interpersonal skills, impolite or disagreeable. You, of course, can believe what you like, but I'm free to ignore your unsolicited comments - which would perhaps be easier to view with a straight face coming from someone who didn't use such a childish device as "Nice snippage there (NOT!)". I've found you to be far ruder, with less reason and more often in these groups than I ever have been. I hope I never have the memory problems referred to in this thread, and can only sympathise. But I similarly hope I never sink to the levels of rudeness and name-calling I've seen from you. - "More accepting of the inexperienced"? - I didn't reject the OP and wasn't commenting on his technical ability at all. I was expressing bafflement at his attitude and calling him out of line for his (ongoing) ingratitude. When asking "How do I do A?" to add, "I've already tried X, Y and Z," isn't a matter of being a genius, it's more like plain common sense. To take umbrage when it's then assumed that none of X nor Y nor Z has been tried and to think you're being called lazy is over-sensitivity.
