Just try any meaning. ;-)

Sorry. Back to be serious again. In my point of view the whole world is based
on trial and error. It is fine if you try different ways. You don't need help
this way because you learn the working way by yourself. But on your own there
is a long list of fails that needs much time to be sorted out.

To reduce this time we are asking others if there is a known solution already.
We receive others experience and the best thing is: There is a filter that
sorts out known failures. If you read Wilfreds lines above than you see that
he does know that the line with "set" in front will not work. That is why
nobody told you to write "set...".

In this case "set..." may break things. You can set a previous correct working
parameter to fail. If your helper doesn't notice that other screws are turned
he will wonder why it does not work. Based on your outputs it have to work and
he could confirm the working solution on his system. And all because of some
missing communication.

Latest example: It took 11 days to sort out that you have two different
machines with differnt setups. To us it looked like you have two problems on
one machine. Nick found now that one software is not involved on one machine.
This would reduce the possible failures making things easier.

In short: It's easier to stay on the bridge if you want to cross the river.
And it's no fun to build a bridge and see people walking through the water.

Regards

Kai
