Yes, I was serious, but maybe I should have used some ‘honey’. When I
started posting questions here I was pleasantly surprised with the
very helpful responses, but lately I must say I see ‘answers’ that are
not only unhelpful, but potentially chasing people away. As I
explained in another post.

Maybe I am not very smart, but what is ungracious in pointing out that
in the reply on something I shared I think could be useful, the
‘solution’ does something else as what I shared?
