David,

There's nothing wrong with your comments or your coding skills, 
but you need to sit down and read a book on attitude (specifically, 
not copping one when you're asking for someone's time and energy).
If I'd read this message earlier, I wouldn't have given you the
several hours time that I already have today.

No one here owes you anything, David.  This is a volunteer project.

Sincerely, 
Michael Snyder
