John Stockton's publicly uttered irritation is understandable to the extent, 
and only to it, that the OP have not been asking a single smart question 
since they got here: they do not care to read the good manuals available for 
free online which would probably answer their questions without posting, 
they blame the programming language(s) for their failings, and they continue 
to ignore basic posting guidelines that have been repeatedly laid out to 
them by more patient responders (and the FAQ, of course).

So this newsgroup can do without those questions, his condescending attitude 
when responding to them, the attached colonialism and xenophobia, and 
finally these meta-subthreads altogether.
