Some times the ego(s) of the responder(s) gets in the way of the simple needs of the OP. As a n example? "My car won't start" and then turn that into a complete conversation of how to disassemble this car, reassemble it, with several 'what the heck is that stuff items added' and when that does not/might not work it then becomes a "try this' or 'try that' situation. I really dislike 'try this - in *might* work' suggestions. Long distance help and 'I can't touch your machine' help can be hard. What bothers me is the geeks fighing amonst them selves. And that simple statement will probably start the next $hit$storm for me. :-) You have a good day.
