What an idiot. For the fourth time, go read the damn docs before mouthing off about how they're wrong.

And still you are too arrogant to stop and think.

I read the documentation before my first post in this thread.

It is your entirely consistent, puppy-like, slavish devotion that "the documentation must be right", that won't allow you to see that your interpretation very frequently differs markedly from that the average user's interpretation.

You are far from the 'average user'; and so am I. The difference between us is that I can step back from my expertise and apply a little common sense, to see beyond the insider's interpretation; and look for alternate interpretations that can arise from the phraseology. A feat seemingly beyond you.

You are without a doubt, the dumbest, smart person I have ever encountered.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

    'I read the documentation before my first post in this thread.'

    But you did not go back and validate that you read it correctly, did you? No sir! Not BullyUk! "I'm so smart I only have to read things once!"

    'You are without a doubt, the dumbest, smart person I have ever encountered.'

    Many of us feel that way about you ... after all, if you can't do ... teach.
