I think it is rude and disrespectful for this poster to completely change the subject of the original topic.

I agree completely and it's also against the TOS. But by responding to off topic posts instead of simply ignoring them, you help insure a thread remains off topic.

Thank you for your prophetic words of wisdom and useless contribution.

This comment struck me as extremely sarcastic.

Thank you for destroying this thread with your banal and off topic questioning.

This one struck me as condescending and belittling.

It's not my intention to criticize you, I'm simply trying to provide some feedback as to how you came across in your posts, whether it was intended or not. You may be frustrated and feel your attitude is justified but, like most people, my initial, gut reaction to your responses was, "I got my own problems and I ain't gonna put up with his friggin attitude!" Letting my irritation show in posts has never won me any friends, but you may have better luck. ;)

Back on topic, hopefully. :) Did the threads I suggested provide any answers for you?
