I even responded to several of his requests. He seems to be a total nOOb and really wants assistance. My comment above was simply a plea for him to be a little less abrasive and demanding with his first posts. I have also asked him to make an attempt to help himself by googleing and other research before he uses the last resort -- asking the people on this list. In my (our?) culture, asking a question is just that. A "please respond" tag (to me) implies the earlier message(s) have been ignored for some time and it has now become a plea to not be ignored.
