Sure, but in general such first-time posters are pretty polite, or at least, non-inflammatory, and as a result the responses are (usually) fairly polite and helpful. So while I sympathize with what you're saying, I find it pretty hard to feel sorry for the original poster in this case. [On a forum _intended_ for user support answers will be restrained and polite no matter how boneheaded the request, but you really can't expect every forum to be like that -- it's just not human nature.] -Miles -- Run away!
