Again, I wasn't "harping on" (and again, you're projecting attitude into
what I wrote that simply WAS NOT THERE); merely responding to someone's
suggestion that I look at the documention by explaining that I'd done so.
And I still don't understand why that caused you to jump to the
unsupported conclusion that I was asking for a pirated copy. Not really
relevant at this point, though, and I don't think we need to rehash it any
further.

<shrug> I hadn't had time yet. Still haven't, as a matter of fact, but I
might get to it sometime this weekend.

You didn't give me the CHANCE to say thank you.
FYI, here's the sequence:
I asked a quick question about whether or not I needed to install the
games to get the port to run. I came back in, read the 2 new messages, and
found that you had answered the question, and that someone else had also
done so and suggested that I should have checked the read-mes. I quickly
replied that I had, in fact, read them, and was going back up-thread to post
"thanks, I'll try that" to you when I got interrupted (I was on a break at
work, and a customer needed immediate help) and had to log off.
I logged back on the group later to make the post, and found your
nasty-gram.
Perhaps you've simply spent too much time fielding posts from immature
eejits, but having someone jump to an unsupported (and insulting)
conclusion - and continue the leap to land on me with both feet - really
bothered me; ESPECIALLY since I had specifically logged on to say "thanks"
for the information.
As noted above, I haven't yet had time to try it, but will give it a shot
sometime in the next few days; hopefully it will work, although at this
point I'm leery of asking for any more help from this group if it doesn't.
:-(
