Paul,

If you check back, I did, right at first, told him where his problem
lied (in the formatting of the email) and some suggestions as to where
to look for ideas. Others also suggested how to overcome his problem.
Had he done this, he could have had the problem solved the way he wanted
on the very first day.

I called him stupid because he refused to listen to any of that advice,
and kept going on about how this was a PHP problem.

He never did get the original problem solved (which would have been easy
had he followed that advice). Rather he came up with some other
solution (which still doesn't work well).

A smart person, when asking for advice, listens to that advice. A
stupid person just continues going down the wrong way.
