I could be wrong but I think the original poster said he may hve been blind or disabled. Maybe that explains some of the confusion.

That was what I was thinking.

I know of a deaf poster on another board who posts there using the sentence construction of American Sign Language. To the uninitiated, his posts are a confusing jumble of nouns and verbs, but if you read them carefully, all of the elements are there. He's a valued member of that community who posts differently because he uses the English language differently.

I was thinking of that poster as I provided the "translation" for the OP.

We've spent enough posts discussing the OP's posting style. Let's get back to providing helpful answers.

It's always dangerous to make inferences about the intentions of other posters. I've seen so many instances of members who are offended when those conclusions are wrong.
Maybe, but more likely it is what it appears to be.

But I will be more than happy to reverse my opinion when I see the OP return and expand on their comments...
