I think it's rather sad that a newbie to this newsgroup who has made a
mistake (perhaps a genuine one) and made her first post here looking for
help, has probably now, thanks to your tirade, been dissuaded from ever
posting a question again in search of help. How do we know that the OP
didn't have a momentary lapse in concentration and immediately say "Damn, I
shouldn't have done that" or suchlike? I don't and neither do you! Even
pro's can make mistakes. So why do we need the scathing insults? Try keeping
your opinions of the intelligence of others to yourself, airing them here in
the way that you do serves no purpose.
Let's see....
Anyone who responds to posts in the way Miss Perspicacia Tick does is too
stupid to be let loose in a newsgroup.
I think that is about as fair and relevant as your reply to the OP.
Colin.
