Well said Mike.

Kifox, you're arguing with some of the top people in this NG, Eli's been
one of the best sources of help I've found in this group. I'm positive
others will agree. I'm sure you will too, in time, as long as you don't
upset him and the others.
If I were you I'd stop digging my own grave by trying to humiliate the
experts who you'll need help from in the future and just let the matter
drop.



"HA! All you're really saying is with this kind of answer is that you
don't know the anwser to the question. Think about it."

That should've been sent via email instead of to the NG. Then you
wouldn't be getting a bad name for yourself.


BTW I sent this publicly because I want other newbies to think about it
before slamming somebody for helping and to give some friendly advice.
NOT to put you down. 

Pointers to the FAQ are a standard reply so that people like me don't
have to keep DLing portions of the FAQ day after day. You'll have to get
used to it, for a while. :-)
