Seems to me that you just didn't get it.

Here it is again.

The vast majority of people who offer their help for free ask you to
help them by bottom posting, or where appropriate, adding comments in
line.

Almost all of these people aren't just helping here on the newbies list,
they also help on many other lists as well. Some receive over three
hundred messages a day. The idea of trimming and keeping relevant
comments goes a long way in refreshing memories.

On the subject of your computer not having even the most basic editing
facilities. That's your problem, and not for you to foist onto others.
Linux software is mostly free (cost wise). Get something that works.

The bottom line is this; if you can't be bothered making the jobs of
those who volunteer time and a deep knowledge of the subject easier in
helping you, then they may well not be bothered helping you. And if that
becomes the case, serves you right.
All I've heard from you sounds too much like a whine from another who
wants to do as they please without consideration for others. Get over
yourself. A little co-operation goes a long way.

Clay.
