A couple of points:
o although I meant what I said in the <rant> seriously, I was not
upset. I guess my humor is dry as dust, but I can assure you I
was chuckling while composing the mail.
o I *certainly* was not upset at your not understanding the problem.
This is exactly what the list is about. And your question was
entirely appropriate for the list.
o Although your post was the trigger, the rant was not meant for you
personally: it was meant for the whole list. It is often the case
that people describe a problem with very little detail and it
takes a series of back-and-forths before we can really understand
what the problem is. Sometimes that's inevitable but many times
it can be avoided. My suggestion was to include enough detail
in the original report so the back-and-forth can be avoided to
the extent possible.
So I hope I did not offend you and if I did offend you, I apologize:
that was not my purpose at all, and a rant that offends but does not
educate is no good at all.
Nick
