The only reason you post your issues here is to get some kind of
answers not SARCASM. I obviously failed to see a redirect that you
mentioned ( a redirect would be try posting your question on "X"
groups not "how is this realated to "x" group?). Its sad that a small
overlook on my part can create such a big FUSS and to make it worse
not get any help on the topic at all.
