OK, I'm not trying to be antagonistic, but I really want to understand where the communication process goes wrong here. What was it about my original comment that seemed like a request for advice?
EDIT: Yeah, this is a pretty stupid comment.
You comment sounded to me like a request for help for which lmm gave a reasonable response.
Anytime you present all the options ABC as you see them, it is possible D is the best option and you just didn't see it.
(Sorry if that came across as more advice...I mean you no harm...)
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
