I guess I will put you into the TROLL package with Markus E L

You should NEVER tell someone in a Forum or Newsgroup that is visted by 
the world, how to ask a question. They will ask how they understand the 
the idea and in the way they can. Plus, you can always skip the post!

And if you get confursed THAT IS YOUR PROBLEM not anyone elses! You 
may need to learn how others ask questions.

Even if the world spoke a Single World Language there will still be 
confusion, JUST DEAL WITH IT!

If you do not own the Forum or Newsgroup then the best policy is keep your 
DICTATOR TRASH ideas to yourself! DUDE!
