Though this ain't no place for a pissing match, I'll grant you one more reply.
The poster suggested she should feel silly. The reason is (and she knows
it) that she know's she was being lazy. I just agreed ... rightly so.

Wait! Where was the insult?

Well, I am a bit brusque, but I will continue. I think the original poster probably learned
something from my post (besides the fact that I'm an asshole ... but she never piped up on it) and
perhaps won't waste bandwith (like I am right now) with lazy questions.
The truth is, I love to help people, but only if they've shown *some* effort.
I'm sorry, what's your name again?
