Olin, I saw NOTHING rude in the OPs post, I saw someone obviously
unfamiliar with English, trying to get help from a bunch of people. What
I then saw was YOU attacking this person (a comment like "If you've got
a problem with something so basic, then a PIC temperature controller is
way over your head."). This is unacceptable. You are NOT supporting this
persons efforts, you are chastising them for asking for help. This is
NOT acceptable.

OK Olin, this is enough. I don't believe it is reasonable to
automatically assume someone who "doesn't start sentences with a capital
letter or end with a period" is being RUDE. This is completely
unrealistic in a world where not everyone is an english major. "refusing
to answer simple direct questions"? Perhaps the person doesn't
UNDERSTAND THE LANGUAGE PERFECTLY?

This discussion is now done. You are NOT contributing anything
worthwhile to this thread. This thread is closed. If you continue on
this vein you will be put on moderation.

Thanks, TTYL
