You are right, definetely, preperation would have prevented this. I

But one thing I have to say. I'm actually sad, that in a newsgroup -
originally designed for help amongs fellow electronic hobbyists - I
have to come across such needless verbal offences. Even if someone
does something wrong, is it each and everyone's right do affront
somebody to be an "a**hole"? That's a little childish, don't you
think? We're all grownups here, hm? Do you really think this is
necessary?

They were not created for 'hobbyist', but for people who work in
electronics. This newsgroup is about test equipment, manuals for test
equipment, and help locating parts or whole pieces of equipment.
Hobbyists are welcome, as long as they play by the rules:

This is not a "For sale" newsgroup. Any electronics related sale
messages belong on <news:misc.industry.electronics.marketplace> or
<http://groups.google.com/group/news:misc.industry.electronics.marketp...>
for Google users.

OK, I didn't know that. By informing myself beforehand I could have
known this, though.
