I'm glad there are people out there, like you, who appreciate it when other
people try to help them.  Remember, the people who replied to you tried to
be helpfull.  And for that you call them idiots?  So far I can only see one
idiot here.  The people on the net don't work for you and owe you absolutely
nothing.  So if you didn't make your request clear enough, that's your fault.
So if you want help and discussion, use this news group, but if you want 
someone to abuse, hire a maid (no disrespect to maids intended).
