As has been said *many* times....you don't have to reply to the thread if you are not interested in the subject, or think it's stupid.

Either answer his question (which does NOT include berating him, telling him to stop posting so much,etc.), or don't reply at all.

I want to apologize for being a jerk, here.
The title of the thread intrigued me, so I clicked on it.
The first line said:

So right off, I was irritated by the fact that he's working on a "project" that doesn't seem to exist.
Then the thread seemed go down from there :flush:
And I just felt a need to turn it around.

Sorry...
