What, 20th or 30th time this question is around? My temper went on vacation somwhere around 15th time.
I'd suggest that you try to take a small vacation from the Troubleshooting forum yourself too if you just can't manage to calm down in the long term. It's far from being bad enough to get yourself officially warned but it sure begin to be annoying. Not only you in fact, I'm saying this for all those who can't stand talking to people with a clear lack of computer knowledge (newbies).

Please remember that the majority of the newbies who ask for help around here probably don't even know what a compression method is. How could they even think about using a different unpacker? On the same way of thought, most of the newbies probably never even tought there could be a search option for a forum or what it could even be used for.

The best way to go around this is to go easy first and as the thread starter begin to shows his technical experience (or lack therefore of) then change to a more direct (or subtle) approach. Doing the opposite is likely to scare the thread starter off.
