<shrug The gentleman asked a question, and I answered it. I don't feel
that I've been called to stand in judgment of what he wants or how he
does it. I saw a question I could contribute to, and I tried to help.
But you did not help. You gave bad advice and have been corrected.
You, on the other hand, have merely delivered condescending commentary
without actually providing any *help*.
This is not a support forum. BTW, just in case you don't happen to know,
this is not a Web forum either.
You told him what he wanted to do was pointless and inefficient based on
your own views and ideas,
Based on my experience and well-founded opinion, yes.
which is fine although you were IMHO somewhat unpleasant about it
I am not afraid to call nonsense "nonsense", if that is what you mean.
and in follow up posts, but then you didn't offer any actual constructive
advice. Criticism like that is not constructive,
Quite the contrary. Sometimes the best advice is the recommendation not to
do something.
and regardless of whether you feel you know what you are talking about,
you still have to back up what you're saying in a post.
I have backed it up several times now. This is a *news*group.
No first time or infrequent poster is going to read thru the entire
newsgroup just to establish your street cred.
This is not about me, it is about giving good advice, and bad advice
incidentally coming from you.
Aaaaaand we're done feeding the trolls for the day!
Who is the troll here, who engages in side arguments, who is attacking the
person instead of providing a solid argumentation for his opinion, is pretty
clear by now. Go away.
