Did I say you were stupid? You asked for help, and I offered it. The
polite thing to do, if you have already attempted the help I offered,
would be to simply say:
"Thank you Dan, but I have already tried to do what you said, and for
some reason decided not to include that fact in my original request for
help. Thank you for taking time out of your day to attempt to help me."

Congrats - it takes some time, but is well worth moving away from Linux
IMHO.

Found nothing? Or nothing useful? I find 105 things doing that exact
same command:
drk:drk:[9:06am]:~> find /usr/ports -name '*pear*' -print | wc -l
105

No problem.
P.S. Please do not top quote. It makes the flow of conversation harder
to follow. Check http://www.lemis.com/email/email-tidiness.html
