What you consider obvious is the type of thing posters ask in these
newsgroups all the time.
Often when the obvious is ignored because "The OP must have tried it"
is often the case when it was not tried.
If you have tried something, you should state what you did.
It is no fault to someone trying to help you when they suggest
something you tried when your original post was incomplete.
