So how's the weather up there from your high horse? You offered only one sentence of advice, then tore into the OP fourposts later.....and I hit somebody's sore spot? Pot meet kettle. Needless to say, I won't be posting a guide as your intelligence/methodology weren't being attacked, rather your condescending attitude.
As far as the rest of your post goes, bravo, you're going for a degree. Too bad you're taking the Dr. House route in "bedside manner," so to speak, instead of that of say, Einstein.
I'm done derailing this thread and will offer no more public replies.
