Your arrogance is beyond belief. I asked a question in this newsgroup, not because I lacked an answer, but because I wanted to see what variation of answers the people here came up with. You provided an answer, I asked a question about it, and you have given me no answer, merely an ever-increasing pile of nonsense as I tried to ask clarifying questions. I did not want or need your form of "education", merely to understand what you meant. At this point I do not believe that you understand what you mean. Or perhaps you merely like winding people up.

It is not even amusing any more!

Thankfully, someone else has dealt with this one.

Since you appear to be based in a city where I spent some years living and working, and working in IT, the probability that I might know some is noticeably above zero.

You will supply nothing. You have nothing of use to supply. Received on Tue Mar 04 2014 - 22:27:39 CET
