Are you a total idiot???

When I sent you a reply I asked a question, this question was to  
determine how to best help you yet you ignored the question because  
you didn't scroll down to the end of the mail and see it or you  
ignored it out of ignorance.

As well, the question was sent off-list and you posted the message to  
the list, also not recommended as list etiquette goes.

Now you feel indignant and post this drivel because your intelligence  
has prevented you from actually responding in a human manner, please,  
get a life.

I'm not about to get into a pissing contest with you, if you solved  
your problem good for you, share your solution and move on.
