Actually, I meant that Dan sometimes sounds condescending, as in his second reply, not Palooka or Dan in their first replies to the OP. You did say you were following the docs in the OP, I think Dan just doesn't scroll back in threads like some of us do (one of the benefits of the otherwise awkward google interface). Specifically, when you say you are following some docs, you should say exactly which ones. Sometimes we will laugh at certain docs. :-)

Speaking of awkward, I wrote a "what you should and shouldn't post," not the clearest thing in the world, but I was just throwing in everything I could think of one day: http://www.dbaoracle.net/readme-cdos.htm#subj12 I do keep a list of suggested improvements that I periodically (read: lazily) apply to that doc.
