Olin, I saw NOTHING rude in the OPs post, I saw someone obviously unfamilia=

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 t=

Thanks, TTYL
