I certainly get the idea.
The op wants what he wants when he wants it.;)
But he does supply enough information, he does not bother to read even a
weeks worth of posts that would answer he question or allow him to make a
more specific question.
And, yep, there are so many questions that many never get answered or the op
never comes back.

So if you think the answers are just for the op, you are most mistaken. The
answers are for the next op that takes the trouble to read the information.

Instant gratification on a delayed web page. lol get real.
Also, about 1/4 of the questions are so meaningless that only a bored
sleepless NG user would bother to respond.

I for one read these posts like they were newly discovered scripts in the
caves near the red sea. You just never know what little tad bit may pop up.

So, how about we put the responsibility of the op's action right where it
belongs. That being in his lap. :)

IMO
