According to this forum, that makes me a very stupid person.
So be it, I suppose I'm stupid, but I bet I'm not the only person here who does that and many similar things.
Now 66 pages might not be the exact same thing as a 1 sentence dialog, but for all the people yelling "just read it", I guess its pretty much the same difference.

Well, I think the hostility is more in regards to a newcomer making a blanket declaration of "this program sucks!" Who wants to help someone who starts a conversation with
that sort of attitude?
I've had my share of boneheaded moments on the computer, but I'm fairly certain that if I came to this forum with the same problem as the OP, I would be greeted with a very different response. Why? Because I would have posted something along the lines of, "I made a very stupid error; can something be done to help others not do the same?"
Or, more likely, "Oh, dear lord, what have I
done?!?!
" But I like to pretend that I'd be calm and collected in a crisis. Polite, yes. Calm and collected? Not so much.
