>The sarcastic tone of your comment indicates you do not respect the process of tech question and answer here. That is unfortunate. One purpose of the UniversalThread is to get technical questions answered. Even if it is an intro level question it is still worthy of an answer. I'm sure the people whose questions I answered will be happy to know they are `novices`. Hopefully, these `less important people` appreciated my answers.

The giving of stars is mostly about appreciation, not technical ability. Some sites don't have them. Some sites that have them actively discourage their use.

That depends on what I meant by "here". You seem to think I meant the UT itself as opposed to the particular thread.

The best you have done here (in this thread) is slow the work.

I've nothing more to say to you.
