Odd how that is hard to tell now that you've snipped away the context.
Hmm. :-/

If you must know, we were talking about another thread. The OP of that
thread built a cheesy programmer circuit and substituted the one and
only IC that it contains with a different number _and_ family.
Therefore, it's really not too surprising that he can't get it to work.

The second sentence (as delineated by a capital letter and a period)
refers to the other thread. The OP posted no useful information in his
post. It was, therefore, typical of many newbie posts in that it went
something like, "I built xxxx and it doesn't work, why?" You know.

The final sentence points out that the OP didn't have a PIC problem yet,
just a programmer problem since it couldn't be detected by the
programming software. This was, in fact, going to be the least of his
problems since he'd need some way to put his new PIC chips into LVP mode
before being able to program them.
