        And also everyone else's wasted time. The standard way to discuss   
   these things is to explain what you're trying to do and post your code.   
   With you it's always a confusing riddle. "I want to figure out the best   
   way to mount this plaque with bull horns on the wall." But you neglect   
   to mention that you haven't caught the bull yet and the mounting is set   
   to be 15 feet high on concrete. Meanwhile, people have been led to believe   
   that you're asking about picture hanging hardware.   
      
       Then someone generously offers what they know about picture   
   hanging hardware and you criticize them. "You fool! Did I say I want   
   picture hanging hardware? Show me where I said that. Show me   
   where I even so much as said 'hook'. Ah, why do I have to suffer fools?!"
