No, but the OP's question was already answered. There's already so
much redundancy here; people keep giving the same answers without
adding anything.

I added how they could get this answer and many more like it without having
to ask publically. I gave them a tool other than this newsgroup that gets
filled with redundancy because people do not know to search with tools like
Google for their answers. If the OP knew about google and used it (with the
given tips) <- then they would not have posted at all. Someone else may
read this and see the link to the tutorial on how to use Google and search
and find the answer to 19 of the 20 questions they would have posted
before.. .Not being able to find the answer to one - they will ask - and
that reduced the number of redundant posts by 19.

Perhaps you know of Google. Perhaps they do not.

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day, teach a man to fish, feed
him for a lifetime.
Yes, you're right but you don't have to talk down to them when you
do it.

The way you took it and the way I meant it may be two different things.

When I want to be sarcastic or caustic - I do not hide it. I would have
said, "Sheesh, can't you at least try google first?! Moron." if I wanted to
be caustic. I did not - so I did not. I merely pointed out they could have
saved themselves time by using a google search... Not only did I say that -
I went a step further and gave them the link they needed to learn how to
utilize google in a more efficient manner.

You decided to "read into" written text for something that was not there.
That is your perogative. I do not question that. However - I assure you,
it was not the intention of the reply or the hundreds you can probably find
of mine with the exact same phrasing.
