Dear sir, you are entirely misunderstanding my intent. I do not think you
are stupid or that you don't belong on this forum. I am afraid that by
asking many small questions you may get useful information but a rather
incomplete picture of a complex subject. Partial information is sometimes
worse than no information! In my message I was suggesting that you be sure
**also** to get a basic background so that the answers you get here are put
into a proper context. Otherwise you may find yourself making incorrect
judgements without realizing it. My appologies to you if you felt insulted
by my response, I did not mean it in that way at all.

Mirick, James R. ,
Some of the member in the list give me good suggestions
(such as Pierre, Scott, Tom Cooper etc) on regarding the
above. Thanks guys.
And you probably assumed people like myself does not know
what I am asking or understand.
Probably, you assume you are intelligent as such you see these
kind of questions should not be posted in this list, then you
should join lists of computer genius group, NOT this list.
** IF EVERYONE IS GENIOUS, THE LIST SHOULD NOT
EXIST IN FIRST PLACE, right. *** Each one of us has their
strong and weak points. So face it.
If you know the answer of my questions, I challenge you to
answer every one of them in depth/details instead turn away?
provided of course, if you know the answer.
And if you do not know the answer, why don't you keep quiet
instead of telling the me turn somewhere else.
I hope this post does not flame anyone, just expressing
my opinion and for those who might think to post questions
to this list, REMEMBER some people might not like it if your
questions is basic/stupid such as our friend MR Mirick.
