Ok Bruno.
Firstly, as I have always done, thank you very much for your help.
What I am in the habit of you are issuing value judgements on my person. And
it is something that is going to began to bother.
You say: "You are asking us for an exact page number where you can find
code to copy".
If we were speaking in Spanish, I would say you several things about what I
do, about my work, about the context in which I find myself, and I will give
you a lesson of humility. Because you are thinking some thinks about my
person that are not right. And I am tired of your constant attacks to me.
I want you know when I asked was because I haven´t been able to find the
solution. I read the book, but I don´t have so much memory to find the
solution to my problems. (I hope you are understanding what I ask you).
But, if you don´t want I continue writing here, please, tell me. If I cause
you some inconvenience, let me know and I don´t bother to come back.
Anyway, I think I am an educated person, and once again I thank you for the
help you are giving to me.
I'll say it again: thank you very much and sorry for the inconvenience.
