I admit it was harsh. Subsequent posts suggest I had the OP 'spot on'
though. Call it second sense or whatever.
His errors were pointed out on multiple occasions and not once did he
apparently comprehend what was being explained. Indeed he dismissed some
very relevant comments. I have no time for those who ask for help and then
disregard the correct advice. They are truly worse than useless and there
are way too many of them around these days. A classic example of 'dumbing
down'.
