Also, attacking the people (even "one guy") doesn't make people more likely to want to help you. Anyway, we're not all equal. In any one case, some want answers and some have answers. That's a real difference. > First of all i would like to say that your criticizm is accepted > but maybe i would react somehow faster on errors caused not in last > part by me. I'm not sure that I parse this sentence. If by "last" you mean "least", be sure that the errors are very much your own. > As to my alleged aversion to quote no i have not such kind of > aversion but as already said yes i was somehow irritated by this > surely well-minded very general hold suggestions started with the > statement:"I do not remeber your problem." Your "alleged" aversion to quote previous texts continues. If you're irritated by people not remembering your problem, maybe you should investigate the causes, or at least consider statements of the cause by other people. > So i hope we are over with this surely not tremendously tries > somehow to mend each other. Sorry, I don't understand this sentence at all. In any case, you appear not to have read http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. As stated there, it's everybody's choice whether to answer a question or not. I've told you what I see as the problem. You've chosen to ignore it. You may still find some kind-hearted soul who is prepared to help you, but you're not doing anything to improve your chances.
