The thing is, Lerf, there are three types of responses you could get when you ask for help with a problem that looks like basic computer illiteracy. There are the very nice patient "we were all there once" type. There are the reponses that are helpful and informative in that they do tell you how to solve your problem, but come laced with an overtone of impatience. Then there are the non-responses from people who simply roll their eyes at the mess and move on to another more aware and interesting thread. Don't snip at the people who actually bothered helping you, quietly despise those who couldn't be bothered, just as they are quietly rolling their eyes at you.
This is MATY. Failure is seen as a result of stupidity and merits pointing and laughing. If that offends you, maybe this is not the right place for you.

The problem is that you also find a lot of smart people here, so the temptation to post about a problem might get bigger than the fear of being laughed at.
A reputation of being mean does not automatically give the right to be mean in the future. My husband uses that same excuse; When people get offended by him, he acts all confused, "But I told them I'm a jerk, they should have expected this".

So *you* are the Mrs Pescado? I originally guessed Gwill, but that was apparently incorrect.

That's funny I don't see anyone calling you a "stoopidpoopyhead and, probably by this time, a liar".

I won't admit that, but I do have a reasonable amount of experience with smart and arrogant guys, who I seem to be drawn to. :P
