There are a lot of very intelligent people here willing to help and as you've seen some very sarcastic ones. The best way to avoid the sarcastic ones is: 1. Don't respond to them if they send you something. Let them be the ones to waste their time by sending you messages that are not helpful. 2. Try to read as much as possible and when you send a question, be very clear as to what you're asking and also be very clear that you've done some reading on the subject. =============================================================================== thank you. i actually answered one of those sarcastic individuals, and confronted him for being so. after carefully explaining my situation, he changed his tone. i realize that i can make mistakes. i know that when someone points them out, i humbly acknowledge them. so i try to give the same opportunity to anyone else. and no i am not being sarcastic as it might seem (to not do so is an act of hatred). self-awareness is the key to accomplishment. without it, you are nothing more than an inanimate object. if after i share with you the knowlegde needed for self-evaluation, and the person refuses to examine him or herself, that is not my concern. my only responsibility is to be truthful. i am not here to change you. that is only the task of the individual. to thine ownself be true. --------------2197BC9E65A2A6FF363CD1F0 Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html> <b><font face="Arial,Helvetica"><font size=+1>oscar wrote:</font></font></b><b><font face="Arial,Helvetica"><font size=+1></font></font></b> <p><b><font face="Arial,Helvetica"><font size=+1>Good luck getting your machine up and running.
