    To clarify my previous post here,

    My comments addressed the act of contributing to a discussion, not the quality or the specifics of that contribution.

    It would be fundamentally incorrect to suggest another member should not contribute to a discussion, on a discussion forum. Irrespective of whether or not one considers another member to be a fool, no one has that authority here.

    I refer you to the Forum Guidelines:
    What you should NOT do:
    5. Discuss or link to objectionable and/or offensive topics. This is not permitted and includes but is not limited to: things of a violent nature, pornography, sexism, racism and/or other discriminatory subjects, this includes things considered to be as a “joke”.
    The forum rules/guidelines are there for the benefit of everyone, covering specifics for a very good reason.

    Also perfectly acceptable, is to make a directly challenging, specifics targeting contribution to a discussion and is encouraged where a member considers it necessary.

    Yes Agreed but I didn't Call anybody a FOOL and Neither did I say anyone shouldn't Contribute. What I said and made clear was that posting Specifics to a new member without the specifics of what was required was misleading and the WRONG thing to do. This can be seen from my comment that some of what george said was helpful but to go into recommending specifics at this time was FOOLISH and potentialy costly or Dangerous.

    You of all people being the Forum owner should be Backing me up on this kind of thing not telling someone they where correct to post what they did.!! . . . In this case you would have been better keeping your mouth Shut which you have seem to have been expertly doing on other matters for the last several months.!!

    Hiding behind forum rules or guide lines is pathetic when what you should be doing is guiding from the front your self and backing up experienced members not doing what appears to be undermining them.!

    In the interest of keeping the Post on Topic I've said all I'm saying about this matter now.!!
