Hi everyone,
I thought I'd be nice and help Miami here with a link to some relevant
source material, this is the reply I received.
"Hey Lee,

Thanks for wasting both time and bandwidth with your useless answer.  For
your information I did read the FUCKING manual (which is quite incomplete
and poorly written) and the answers are obviously either not in there or
they do not completely answer all of my questions which is why I posted it
on the newsgroups.  So please either provide me with a useful and pertinent
reply to my post or go FUCK YOURSELF, you are stupid piece of shit."

Can we all chip in and try a little harder to get this guy some answers?  He
may be on the verge of some kind of episode.  Thanks for your time and
patience in this matter.
Yours truly,
POS....
