You won't get far by turning to attack mode, Larry. If anything you'll turn away good help; we're (thry're) just a bunch of users here, like you, helping each other out and IMO attack modes are uncalled for. Your conspiracy theory of an 'autocratic imposition of' anything is uncalled for and in general will turn the "community" to not caring whether you get help or not.
