    Hang on there just one second... I did discuss the potential problem
    which you so kindly pointed out - I agreed with you. At no time have I
    said that my method was "correct", only that it WORKED FOR ME.

    Response: I did not recommend, I suggested. And if you're saying that

    it's not a good idea to post the suggestion, which is in effect

    Because that's exactly where you are. You are so stuck on your own
    solution that you think it's the best way to go. Otherwise you wouldn't
    be arguing so strongly.

    All through this thread you have consistently failed to point me to
    where I have said or done any of the things of which you accuse me.
    You have also attempted to subtly move the goal posts whenever I point
    out flaws in your arguments.

    You are COMPLETELY hopeless. I've told you, and others have told you
    why your "solution" is bad. Yet you continue to argue.

    You're not worth any more of my time. I have better things to do. Like
    help people who WANT help with GOOD answers.

        You pointed out the possible consequences. I agreed with you - there
        was a discussion about it - you may be surprised to learn that this is
        often how usenet works.

        I wonder how many other people, possibly youself included, have posted
        a suggestion without also including, in that very same post, every
        possible consequence?

        Where did I argue that my solution was a good one? Once again, I ask
        that you please point me to a post where I have said this.

        You pointed out the possible consequences. I agreed with you - there
        was a discussion about it - you may be surprised to learn that this is
        often how usenet works.

        Once again, please point me to a post where I have said that my
        solution was the best way to go.

        You have no idea about why I am arguing. I have tried to impart clue
        to you, but you still refuse to see it.

        And this suggests that I was saying my method was the best?

        Yes I can. Quite clearly I can read - I read your responses, I find
        issue with them and I ask you questions.

        You consistently refuse to answer my questions, but still you continue
        to "put words into posts which I never said".
        >You are COMPLETELY hopeless. I've told you, and others have told you

        I am not arguing about my solution. I am arguing about your attitude.
        >You're not worth any more of my time. I have better things to do. Like
        >help people who WANT help with GOOD answers.
        I have tried to be civil throught this thread, and I have tried to
        explain what my issue was. You are choosing to ignore that, or maybe
        you are just unable to follow a logical argument.

        You, sir, are a rude, arrogant, self-important, self-righteous twit.

                Damn. I forgot to include 'ignorant' in that list of attributes.

                I should never have posted that without the caveat that it may be
                incomplete, or that some users may find it unsuitable, objectionable,
                or just offensive.

                My bad.

                    No, actually you left with some dignity before now, you had to come back
                    and stir the pot some more and remove all dignity.

                    Why not just leave well enough alone?
