Oh. But you should really try to respect these groups.

I and others give up a lot of time to try to assist you and others.

Appending a post to a thread and also quoting from my post suggests
that your comment is related to my post.

If you want to get good advice, try to follow nettiquette and general
good manners and help keep these groups clean so that all may benefit.

Anyone can make a mistake. I myself just posted a question on this
group which I should have been able to answer myself.

Making a misake is not a problem. However when helpful folks offer
sound advice about where the poster can get the best advice and
explain why this is not the corrct place, good manners would suggest
being grateful for that advice and not being downright sarcastic and
shooting the messenger.

All too often I see people with very little knowledge asking for
advice and then arguing the toss because the answer was not what they
expected.
