[long rant removed]

When you have a communication problem with another person or set of 
persons, it is easy to blame the other people.  However if it happens 
over and over, perhaps you need to ask yourself if the real problem 
is the way you are trying to express yourself.  As I tried to explain 
in my last post, the fundamental problem that everyone seems to be 
having is that no one understands what you mean by "spiral 
waveforms".  If perhaps you would take the time to explain the basis 
of your question, I think you would find that there are some very 
polite intelligent people on this list and on Analogue Heaven.

I have been on the net since 1986.  I've seen this kind of behavior 
over and over.  I usually try to ignore it.  If you start calling 
everyone else a "psychopath" when they are honestly trying to 
understand you, you will not get very far in the world.  You would 
not do that to someone's face.  If I had to hazard a guess, English 
is not your first language, you have not been on the net for very 
long, and you are older or perhaps some combination because you seem 
to be blowing a simple misunderstanding completely out of proportion. 
Whatever the case, online communication is different than 
face-to-face communication.

You might want to try this third party explanation of how to ask a 
polite useful technical question:

Oh and by the way, I'm sorry if your ISP insists on spamming the 
world with Herbalife propaganda.  It may not be your fault, but I 
would switch instantly if I had an ISP like that.
