Probably same thing I already answered today: screwed lpi.
No respone, interpreted as ignoring advise.
I should say, Thaddy, that the .lpi haven't been touched for a couple of days, so I don't think that's it.
Making up your own logic, meant to justify ignoring given advice.
It's nothing to do with the contents of preferencesunit_methodgroup.pas either - it consists purely of a bunch of comment lines, no unit name or anything like that.
Still not looking at the mentioned files, interpreted as ignoring given advice.
You had no logical basis on which to say:
The above quotes do not provide me with a logical base for that particular response from my hands ?
Are there any words you are able/willing to spend on attempting to make that statement stick ?
My question if it is perhaps too difficult to delete those files, was a genuine question. Because advice was not followed i assumed that you perhaps did not know how to delete a file. At the most the words were used to sparkle your fire
Look, I'm not trying to pick a fight or anything and I recognise that you are one of the more knowledgeable regulars here, but without the benefit of non-verbal communication to aid the conveyance of tone and mood, you really need to be careful about how comments come across.
imo your written words can only be interpreted as ignoring given advice, making up your own logic and that you are left with the same issue that you started out with.
So, when you write:
...and reflect on how insulting that came across.
.... you perhaps might want to take the opportunity to reflect on your own response (or lack thereof)...
In case you are looking for velvet gloves, then you are addressing the wrong person. On boards where i usually post, your thread would have been closed/removed right from the first post for lack of providing required information.
You do not have to apologize or be careful for addressing me in person, as you are (as everyone else is) entitled on your own opinion. You also have the freedom to ignore my ramblings (as i apparently and in hindsight should have done with yours)
That you sugarcoat yourself, doesn't change your actions. The correct action (from your hands) could apparently only be invoked by writing what i wrote.
In the end: you got the issue fixed now, or not ? Perhaps you prefer(ed) the silent treatment instead ?
