There are busy days when one may quickly browse through the list,  pick a post
with the intention to help and then find out that is hard to make sense of it.
It's a good thing --as the list motto goes-- to "assist, encourage and advice"
posters to make better use of this resource.
On the other hand, insulting others leads to nowhere... but it does get people's
attention as this thread shows it.
