I'd like to think you are trying to help.  You are always polite and
usually supportive.  Your volume of responses is impressive.

You are making things worse as often as you help.

Please, Please, stop making guesses and random assertions and
presenting them as the gospel.  In this thread I don't think you've
got *anything* correct.

I'm not sure why you think you know all this stuff. We're happy to
have you hang out regardless of what you know.  Just stop going past
what you know, without at least saying things like 'I don't think that
will work' or similar.

Brian
