Andre took the trouble to create a howto, then took the further
trouble to correct it whent the software did something odd (feature=bug
in this case IMO).

Rather than express appreciation for the effort and the gift that he
made to those who wanted it, you quibble about the format and method.
The whooshing sound you heard on reading my mail was the implication
sailing over your head, apparently.

That's nice. Do you imagine that your preferences are shared by all
people, or that contributions in a format that fails to agree with
your opinions is worthy of a rude reply such as the one you gave to
Andre?

Feel free to use the information Andre offered to contribute by doing that yourself.
