I think you are being entirely unfair both to Ruskie and I as well as other Rootschatters. We are certainly not trolls. If you look you will see that we both have a large number of posts (many of mine date back from when I was a global moderator here so well used to dealing with problem members) and we have both done an incredible amount of research, both personally and for many other members.

Not a very courteous and respectable reply.
You don't know that the archives will reply but you will just have to wait and see.

No one can say how long it will take to get a reply.
What I pointed out to you earlier was merely commonsense but if you expect instant results you are bound to be disappointed.
