   Hi,   
      
   Ignoring your imprudent and uncalled for language, I must agree that   
   online help lately has often come with a large dose of vitriol, which is   
   entirely uncalled for. Not all of us are computer hotshots; that is why   
   we sometimes need help. I have an advanced degree, speak some 6   
   languages, and have various talents in several fields. However, Windows   
   is not one of my talents, and I occasionally need help. What is obvious   
   to one of you may be entirely murky or invisible to me. If you cannot   
   politely give advice, then perhaps you should keep your typing hands in   
   your pockets.   
      
   Mort
