This guy repeatedly posts elementary questions that could be
answered by spending 5 minutes reading the help file.

Now, if he looked at the help file and still was unsure of the
answer, or couldn't make what he read there work, then it would
sensible to post and say "the Helpfile says X but I can't get it to
work..." then it would not be annoying.

Then there's his habit of posting a question, then adding 3
followups to the first post that *change* the nature of the original
question entirely.

So take the advice of one of the regulars on this group and ignore his posts, I think his name was David Fenton.
