I'm sorry...  I read through the thread and see fairly polite
explanations of why this probably isn't the right place to ask such a
question, how and where to ask such questions, and even some possible
solutions - despite some hostility and an apparent sense of
entitlement on the part of the person asking the question.

I don't understand how such useful and, frankly, tolerant responses disturb you.
