I didn't say he teaches anything. I said I do. And I said that I appreciated his comment. He didn't call you a cheat. If you were a student he didn't call you a cheat. What he indicated was that it is our unofficial policy to help OP's that appear to be students with hints not full answers. The point is not to ignore students ... just not to give them fully formed answers.

What you need to realize is that everyone here is volunteering their time because they enjoy the community and enjoy making contributions. No one here is obligated to do anything. That means you've no right to be angry about anything ... you aren't paying and we aren't being paid. Expectations should be zero. The occasional thank-you, off-line, is nice when someone has helped you with what you need.

Hope that clarifies things a bit.
