[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

My attitude is explained by my general experience with Emacs itself and
reporting any problems I have had with it. Sometimes everything went out
fine, but far less often than I would have hoped. You may see me as a jerk,
I see most Emacs developers as unhelpful and not willing to take into
account real problems when those don't affect them personally. Doesn't
matter "who started first", that's just how it is.

I suspect your "help" was to the tune of "instead, you should just...".
That I won't miss, I have had a lot of "help" of this kind on StackOverflow.

So there.

Paul
