This IS the answer. Somebody need to pick up the job. Some of us that willing to donnate the time and effort. Before that, just like any public forum, the 'ruder's can continue to be rude, and although offering help that may NOT even be appreciated, and the newbie continue to post the way they are, and put the 'ruder's in ignore file . The forum is like a phone, you can either ignore it and let it ring off the hook or picking a fight. Finally, I do not know the purpose of helping others in a forum. Your only reward is,
1) I am a good boy scout, I help somebody.
2) Somebody appreciates my help and get less trouble.
3) Spread knowledge

ALL three purposes defeated by being rude. Think about it, please. I have seen many repeated questions, I answer them or ignore them depends on my time schedule. Telling people posting here to use the search function does NOT help. You really think an average joe walking on street will know how to post in a forum and registered and find this particular forum? Whoever post in this forum are pretty seasoned computer users. It just drives newbies away and INCREASE bandwidth. OP put in a 20 lines discussions on thread #9, I agree totally, things can be learned easier if explained from a different angles, several times sometimes. FAQ should solve the problems. Where are you?
