I am surprised on how little response I get when posting questions. I thought that helping people was what this list was for. If you care to help you can see my previous message from today.

Hi Raymond -
The short answer to your question is “Maners and Patience”.
The long answer to your question includes:
(1) Learn to post in text only. Posts in both html and text are annoying
at best, and cause many people to immediately hit .
(2) RTFM (and that includes the list archives)
(3) Understand that free software and support is just that. Free. People
do it out of the goodness of their heart. You can’t scream and demand
that they help you. Take what you get. If you happen to get something
be grateful. If you don’t, don’t whine.
If you want to be able to rant and scream about lack of support, pay
someone to support you.
Otherwise, don't be surprised when the response you get to a whine
boils down to "get a life".
cheers!

Fuck off. Really… We don’t need the attitude.
What should you do if you really need help and you want me to give it to
you? A brown envelope, full of unmarked bills would be a good start.
No-one answered your pathetic one line post because it’s been covered time
and time again, and stuff to do this is in the contrib directory, IIRC.

I suspect that everything that needs to be said on this thread has been said.
If anyone feels the need to say anything else, it should probably be by
private mail.
