You sir, were not helpful, "I Hope Not" indeed represented your opinion on the topic, but you chose one of the worst ways to express your opinion, If you were in a hurry, or just didn't want to elaborate, you should have just NOT POSTED.
Or, realized that your comment, as natural as it felt for you might trigger some reaction by the OP.

Further more, the OP chose a civilized manner to tell you that your post was useless. It didn't help the OP reach his goal, and it didn't really explain to noobs why they shouldn't try this shortcut.

Next time, I suggest, you hold off with comments that do not being info, and do not bring some smiles to the thread for yourself.

You may or may not take my suggestion, I see about 4 users bashing the OP here, and it's totally unjustified.
i totally agreei could have been more descriptive, but sometimes being succint gets the point across, and if asked to elaborate i would have, however i believed the reasons for hoping not were obvious, as most people seem to have understood.

if you understand what you're doing (and i believe you do) then it may be slightly useful, however if you appear to not know what you're doing to a degree that you cant find the post where this has been discussed before, then any help i did offer would indeed be more damaging.

i could have not posted, but if nobody who thought this was a bad idea bothered to say so on the grounds that they'd be flamed by the OP or others for not being helpful, then again, more damage than help will occur.

four people ganging up on the OP for his idea would be unjustified, but when the OP is attacking, flaming and generally being rude to posters and the community as a whole, then he shouldn't be suprised when people take a dislike to this.
