Deconstruction of this statement follows:

 I do not know. I am unable to extract information from any OS. But I am
 really good at moaning about them. You will get no help from me, don't
 bother me.

Deconstruction of this statement follows:

  You are asking questions. Questions are awkward - you have to give
  answers; I do not want to participate in giving answers. Just take
  some notice of me and give me what I want without all this palaver.

Having chosen to post to debian-user you cannot even work with the
process here. What chance would there be of a working relationship if
you thought you were talking to the Debian Leader.

Deconstruction of this statement follows:
