There is only one thing that is worse than a person that doesn't take advice and continues to ask regardless: the one that seeks advice, attacks those that try to help, and then in a fit of embarassment provides a perilously long, rambling e-mail to claim that they "knew it all along". Show some respect to the people on this list and don't post here if you're going to act in such a manner. It's simply disrespectful and rude.
