Ah, so we have fallen to the depths of personal insults now. Hardly an
adult way to carry on a discussion.

Very funny Moshe. Pity your sense of humour is better developed than
your desire to help other Windoze users.

I don't mind helping people with real problems.
I don't waste time with contrived problems where the user already knows the
answer because he has in effect caused the problem in the first place, but
won't admit it.

Face it, you've been caught.

Move on and try a better troll next time.

You are very good at putting words into other people's mouths especially
when they suit your purpose. Unfortunately for you, my case is in fact
genuine, no matter what you believe. The problem definitely was not
contrived, it really happened and it puzzled me. Pity you are not big
enough to actually offer a solution.

> Face it, you've been caught.

You are the one who has been caught, with his trousers down, exposing
his total inability to help anyone.

Moshe, you are so funny, especially when everyone knows that YOU are the
troll. Keep posting Moshe, you amuse me no end.
