I'm sorry if you think it was rude and/or bossy. The fact is that
whether you know it or not (and since you are using the web interface,
you probably don't know it) you are posting on Usenet and there are
ways of posting that have evolved in order to get you the answers you
need. See below for information that will help you get the most out of
this resource.

My comments to you were not meant to hurt your feelings but to maximize
your chances of getting attention for your posts and to get good,
accurate answers. For example, people who continually multipost, post
in all capital letters, and/or don't provide enough information will
quickly annoy the people who are trying to help them. The end result
will be that they will not get the help they are seeking because no one
will reply to their posts.

Here is information to help you get the most out of Usenet newsgroups:

Since you are using the web interface, you may not realize that this is
really a newsgroup. You will get far more out of this resource if you
learn to use a newsreader. There are many good newsreaders for Windows,
but you can use Outlook Express since you already have it. Here are
some links to information about newsgroups:
