well, i read the thread. sounds to me as if there are two or three "computer nerds" there that exist everywhere. at least that's been my experience when i've needed 'puter help. i'd just ignore them and find another site......that's my take. i certainly didn't see anything that you did off-key. you asked some questions and some people got off topic. but...i still think that is normal among computer geeks..especially the male ones....:-) female viewpoint.
