    AARRRGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!! Someone fire the man. He has no business in this business.

    In my experience nearly 95% of the people in this business actually have the brains to be in this business. Then there are about 4% of those with enough brains that don't have a "give a damn" to learn anything new. That leaves about 1% that have enough drive and brains to actually improve over time. Sadly the other 99% are the ones taking jobs and giving a bad name to the rest of us. You have to make a choice when you run across people like that. Either help them and try not to pop your own eyeballs or see their name as the OP and walk away. There have been many threads over the years were I could have helped that person but because I knew they wouldn't understand it anyway I just walked away. You should try it, it is quite liberating.
