i need help

Gee Mr. Thumbs, I apologize -- but couldn't you have said something like, "Whoa, Inky, I see you're new here and probably were just trying to help, but don't EVER provide password help to anybody!" ??

Why not just take down the post? Would that have robbed you of an opportunity to call what I did "stupid" - thus compensating for whatever it is about you that's so painfully lacking? I see now that giving password help isn't good, but you didn't have to be childishly rude about it. Unless you *are* a child, and hopelessly rude. In that case, I apologize again. I make mistakes all the time. I'd had a very rough day -- ever had one? Try some kindness; you'll be amazed at how much better it works than the approach you took here.
