Simple solution for that stuff is to just kill the thread. |

If you want help, then use an informative subject line and just |
| 23 |
explain what is going wrong. When you post hysterical subject lines |
| 24 |
and it just goes downhill from there I don't even bother reading the |
| 25 |
messages. Nobody wants to see you suffer, but nobody around here is |
| 26 |
obligated to help either, so at least try to be nice about it... |
