And in fact, Wes' response was not in the least bit rude, but
rather quite helpful in two important ways: giving the actual
answer, and giving advice on how to find answers to similar
questions in the future.

Braindamagedness notwithstanding, Double Dumbass (appropriately
named?) needs to learn to cope with his situation in life and
reading the tutorial repeatedly, even, if necessary each time
before posting a question, would be a better approach than
insulting those who try to help.
