So many opinions, touted as fact.  Very little in the way of solving the problem though.

There should be an IQ test interrupting the 'Post' feature in the forums.

Actually, I've long been a proponent of an IQ test being required before anyone can purchase a computer ;D

It's a law of computing: the moment some otherwise intelligent people sit down in front of a computer, their brain turns to mush. I once had to try to explain to somebody what a left-click was, since they insisted on right-clicking everything.

I ended up describing a left-click as a wrong-click. somehow wrong and right are opposites but not right and left.

Or:

"Ok, not left click the icon"

"Left... that's the opposite of right, isn't it?"
I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

You know BC - I almost understood that. Either your posts are becoming clearer or, heaven help me, they're starting to make sense to me.

You should inform your doctor of this immediately :)

I agree. Could be a sign of Possumitis. If that makes sense.

And if it does make sense... you better hurry. ;D

    In your opinion
    Yes, in my opinion. I have to say that this forum is moderated by genuinely arrogant "geniuses" who would rather talk about their intelligence than actually try to help people.  mcummings36, I would suggest you try PC Help Forum http://www.pchelpforum.com/, where you would get some help with your problem and not all the arrogant rantings that appear here.

    My only problem with that post is the quotation marks around "geniuses".

    And yet you are still here.  Are you feeling a little bit conflicted?

      No, not at all,  just returned to see what replies the "geniuses" were going to make concerning my post.
