Reindl Harald, I would appreciate if you could please lower your tones. and keep this list as professional as it has always been, this is not a nerds forum. There is always someone that knows more than you but he's not "shouting" at you everytime you say something wrong. If you think that a question is not worth answering just dont answer, while if you answer do it in a useful way, so that all the community can only improve from it, do you find this useful?

This is just my opinion.
