Well, no, it looks like a communications problem.  Several people have
told you about the problem, and you're ignoring it.

Well, first of all you should describe your problem.

I saw no flames, certainly none from my wife.

Why should I?  If you have a problem, describe it here.  Don't expect
people to go looking on your behalf.

Also, attacking the people (even "one guy") doesn't make people more
likely to want to help you.

Anyway, we're not all equal.  In any one case, some want answers and
some have answers.  That's a real difference.

I'm not sure that I parse this sentence.   If by "last" you mean
"least", be sure that the errors are very much your own.

Your "alleged" aversion to quote previous texts continues.  If you're
irritated by people not remembering your problem, maybe you should
investigate the causes, or at least consider statements of the cause
by other people.

Sorry, I don't understand this sentence at all.

In any case, you appear not to have read
http://www.lemis.com/questions.html.  As stated there, it's
everybody's choice whether to answer a question or not.  I've told you
what I see as the problem.  You've chosen to ignore it.  You may still
find some kind-hearted soul who is prepared to help you, but you're
not doing anything to improve your chances.
