I don't know about him, but I sure didn't!
I was annoyed with him for bringing extraneous, and possibly
contentious, issues into a serious help thread.
I didn't post to bring that to his attention, possibly making the
matter worse, in the hope that it might go unnoticed.
Both of you have disrespected, with your comments, the person who asked
for help. Would you want to see this, if you were in his position? If
you have real help to offer a requester, that he actually needs, please
give it. Anything else, isn't appropriate for a help thread. Please
consider this in the future, when you are moved to post things like
this.
