Given the tone of this message, I don't think that I'm going to bother
answering it and I'd like to request that no one else reward this
brand of rudeness with an answer either.  The above statement was as
gratiutous as it was unnecessary, an I don't care how frustrated the
user was - he can behave like a professional or he can go elsewhere.

For what it's worth, the problem is actually quite simple and is not a
bug at all.  Perhaps if the user had learned earlier on in life that
kicking someone in the teeth for giving him something for free was not
appropriate behavior, we'd have gotten somewhere with this.

As it is, I have absolutely no inclination to help Mr. Taylor and, all
things considered, would much prefer that he stick with Linux.  Users
with his attitude we can genuinely do without, and there are more than
enough potential users who DON'T suffer from such personality
disorders that we should put our very limited time and energies into
helping them.  The flamers can go commercial, where the support people
are at least paid to be abused.
