Oh, settle down. The OP's open post was a statement...not a question, or a request for help. When I asked what his point was? , he asked if I was mentally impaired, or could not read? If was off to the races from there with the ensuing replies.

If you want to coddle this type of behavior, more power to you, just don't make it sound like the guy posted a legit request for help(or problem) and got the sh$t kicked out of him for no reason.

I generally feel very settled down, but thanks anyway.
I agree that the 'OP' was in large part the author of his own demise.
There were times when reading some of [the] posts that I caught myself thinking about Pee Wee Herman's old routine: "I know you are, but what am I"?!!! Wacky stuff to be sure.
Despite the humour of this, something told me it was time to back it down.
I expect that you will understand this concern. Thanks

Some strange stuff does go on when there is a poster that has his mind in neutral and mouth (a.k.a - keyboard) in third.
