If you say so, but let's count again - something like 64 links posted by you
in one post?

I suggest you carefully check your fix-all problems instructions you have
stored away & prune it down slightly - or at least break it into sections
relating to specific problems, the just post the relevant bit.

Don't forget, most people CANNOT be bothered scrolling through page after
page, especially when it's bottom posted, just to find a possible solution
to their individual problem. Would you be bothered??
