See, here's where careful reading of his post would've helped. He clearly states that he doesn't have much computer/reading time to solve his problem, therefore he is forced to ask for our help (this is the reason he mentioned his location). He then apologizes for this, presumably having in mind comments like yours.

Your post, however, immediately took to sniping, with no substantive criticism, so it seemed you were just looking to vent the day's frustrations instead of actually offering advice, critical though it may be. You actually only got around to saying something potentially useful after my comment.

p.s. I won't downvote you again, I think I made my point already.
