You still can't be bothered to go read the page I'm telling you to go 
read, eh?

Have you ever considered that maybe I'm telling you to go read that page 
because it actually has the answers to your questions?  Or do you refuse 
to read any page anywhere that has a title that you disagree with?

There are a number of different ways to resolve these issues, depending 
on what is important to you.  If you ever bothered to read the pages I 
recommend, and to use the other resources that I recommend, all this 
could be explained to you.

But if you want to die of thirst while standing next to the water 
bucket, and you refuse to be lead to the water bucket because it has a 
name on it that you disagree with (like maybe "Agua"), there's not much 
I can do to help.

You're on your own.  I'm washing my hands of you.
