No. Thank *you* for such an amusing read. I read your email once, twice
and then yet again in total amazement. Just what is your issue?

If you expected someone to provide you with an intricate and
painstakingly researched essay in response, then maybe you should have
taken the time to think more carefully how your write your questions, so
that the audience could have a clearer idea as to your technical level.
As they were, being simple one-liners like 'what frequency does it run
at?', they came across as being simplistic questions which both I, and
Scott Gravenhorst I expect, considered 'newbie' and hence felt they were
most appropriately addressed with correspondingly basic answers.

Yes, this is very rude. Stop being so fucking arrogant. I have to deal
with idiots in my job, too. This does not mean, however, that I feel I
can be sarcastic and rude to people on this list - like Scott - who have
simply taken the time to try to help and advise you, their responses
being based upon only what information they are provided with in the
original posts. 


Cheers,

Trevor.
