If you check, my comment was a statement to comments like "stupidity" and "not idiot proof" that you used. Second, while I don't expect user-friendly for free, I also don't expect to be called "stupid" and "an idiot" because I follow the instructions and get an undesired result because of something that was not forbidden, in the instructions. > > I have been reading this news list for 2 years and I see this > > continual attitude of resenting helping those that request help. > > contribute something then. > > the problem in this case is that John did try to help you, but > you couldn't see the forest through the tree's. you had it set > in your mind that what you were doing was 100% accurate and > you didn't consider that making the change on *your* side was > not your problem. I did not say that I was 100% correct. I said I was following the instructions 100%.

But it's not my fault for not knowing that that was a requirement, was it? And that does not make me an "idiot" or "stupid" for not knowing that, does it?
