Suggesting that you 'go somewhere else' might be the place you need to go
to see what they are talking about. What *I* see is someone taking a
scattergun approach ('Well, shit, this didn't work. What happens if I do
this instead ...???') and I've been there - and it's easier on my
frustration level to just sit back, read (or re-read) what they've
suggested and *then* see what I can make this thing called HTML/CSS do.

You *can* post any type of mesage you choose. The type of response you're
going to get depends on your comments and responsive to the answers. As
Jonathan (I believe) said, this is not your (or anyones) private help desk.
There have been times I've come in here, denser than a rock and gotten
excellent help - it's then up to me to determine if it's *really* helpful
or not. Jukka can be the example of this groups 'tough love', and
sometimes he's so abrupt that one needs to ask for clarification and it
usually follows.

Sorry you feel that way. You've instigated a couple of the longer threads
seen in the past few days - which means the regulars are reading and
responding to you. It's your choice if you decide that they aren't worth
listening to.
