I certainly agree that your request for people to cut you some slack 
because of the practically non-existent information from the op is 
certainly proper. However I have found over the years that most people 
using newsgroups, such as myself, have very little patients with people 
that do not know the ins and outs of nix type systems, have no patients 
and will continue to give you bulshit feedback.

Usually people on this newsgroup have more patients than most, and that 
is a good thing. Again there are still otliers that will continue to 
give you BS.
