Well, let's wait and see. Maybe you're right, after all. But I like to take people on their stated aim, and not speculate on what would they actually want/need. If someone tells me "this is my problem, how do I solve that?", I try to give a competent answer, or just say "I don't know.". But oftentimes on the interwebs, people like to completely change the argument. Because I don't like those types, I always try to stick with the issue at hand.
