Armund,

It frequently takes hours or even days before a usenet post becomes visible to all readers. It makes little sense to get pissed off at someone for answering your question and for suggesting an alternate technique to get more timely answers.

If you do not want patronizing little notes, make sure you rtfm and google before asking for anyone else's help.
