Chris,

Ideally, a TLUG thread should go something like this:

1. OP (Original Poster) asks a question.
2. People ask for clarification of the question.
3. OP provides clarification as needed.
4. People suggest solutions.
5. OP applies solutions until problem is solved or need is met.
6. OP posts a followup (hopefully with "[SOLVED]" at the beginning of
the subject line), detailing how he solved the problem or met his
need.
7. Time passes.
8. Someone has the same (or similar) problem.
9. That someone Googles, finds the thread in the TLUG archives, and
sees how the OP solved the problem.
10. Everyone wins!

Your thread went something like:

1 -> 2 (repeated a few times) -> 4 / -1 -> 5 -> 6**

where:

-1. People make sarcastic remarks.
**. OP posts "[SOLVED]" but provides no useful details.

Please try to provide more details, both at the beginning, so people
can help you, and at the end, so you can help others. If you are not
willing to provide details because what you are doing is of a
sensitive nature, maybe TLUG is not the best forum for your question.
