Okay. You've successfully scared me away. I don't feel the need to justify myself or my confusion.
i have not asked you to justify yourself or your confusion. instead i have provided you with lots of valuable documentation, which - if you had cared to read - would have helped you to solve your problems.

Leaving the computer screen every once in a while is a good thing. It helps you communicate better with humans.
yes indeed. communities tend to have their own "secret language" to communicate (be it in front of a screen or not). people who are new to such communities usually have a hard time in the beginning until they learn how to speak this language.
calling me names, because i tell you how you might better position your problems so that people (who, btw are not paid to answer your questions) are more willing to answer them, is far from appropriate.
if you want friendly support, either pay people to do so, or give them the feeling that their efforts are not wasted.
"free software" means "free speech" and not "free beer".
