It was people's reaction when I said I thought it was not relevant. There was a lot of stuff said that was unnecessary. People could have simply said to try it, without the criticism. To the extent that I was wrong, the apporopriate thing to do is to state whatever facts are relevant and then give me a chance to use that information. I have posted over 12,000 messages in the CodeGuru.com Visual C++ forum, and about 99% of the messages were efforts to help people. I know that there are people that will not listen. When a person will not listen, it is a big mistake to insult them. The attitude in this group would cause a serious flame war if someone were truly not listening.
