yeah... i guess it's easy to confuse "rude" with "poking fun at um"

i'm a sucker for flamebait andpoking fun ... :-0  always fun if one
doesn't emotional about it and hopefully learn a thing or 2 along the
way..

some folks are defensive... i wonder why, while others just move on and
have beer and figure it out

yup.. but since the thread got worst... no answers will be forthcoming
however, it's all readily available in yahoo/google ... 

we all spent our time hrs,days,weeks to find the answers if
nobody hands it to us on a platinum platter at the 
'palace of "pick-your-noun" ' .. :-0

and after all of that hard r/d .. write a [atheist]damm howto
so that nobody else needs to do that r/d searching again

to me... it was 100% in fun .. but i guess i can see how it can
also be rude when one makes fun of somebody else at their expense 

there was say over a dozen things wrong with the thread before
the 3rd post to the list .. :-)  and inaccurate "solution" will
be so stamped .. :-) or at least leave a cloud of uncertainty
on the next reader to staumbles on this entertaining thread
