As has been said before, on this forum, people need to learn that if they post a question they should expect answers. The answers aren't always to their liking and they don't have to do it that way if they choose not to. If someone doesn't like another person's answer or how he states his answer, it isn't necessary to jump all over him for what he says or how he says it.
