Okay, I do understand now.

Thanks,

I guess this "you" is for Andreas, right?  Because this is the exact
same impression I get from Andreas messages.

I tried to ask something clearly, got extremely short answers, which
gives me the impression that I'm stupid.  Being stupid, I don't want to
bother anyone with more than short sentences, and you get this kinda
silly "conversation".

Anyway, thanks for the answer.

I continue to think having a ̀make help' would spare everyone's time 
by answering such questions in advance.
