So how exactly do you know which ones contain the "sarcasm and downright arrogance" ......

.... since you seem to have a fine nose to still pick them out.
Guess "I don't even bother to read the bulk of your replies" is just
another of your usual lies then, eh.

And now you're in the wrong thread too.
This thread is about people giving (false) advice, not those asking advice.
I never criticized Bob's questions (even though I question his motive).

My being helpful here is about pointing out the charlatans. If someone
wants to learn what exactly was wrong he/she can take my comments
to further investigate. I leave it to the nannies to do the spoonfeeding.

Good, then you know that my criticism of the poison feeders is usually
correct.

You obviously confuse me with Arnie (or Timmy).
My replies are never bloated, they are usually the absolute bare minimum.
And contrary to most others -and one person in particular- that have an
urge to rant, I usually reread mine before sending and even retract some
of them if I feel that an answer is superfluous or counter productive.

Btw, here is one post from you that I retracted my initial answer from:
"Min,
Send me your drive. I'll probably get the 8GB back, plus EVERYTHING
that 8GB overwrote, plus the rest."
Nice one, Odie, you can do what no one else can do: You can not
only recover lost data but also the data that that 8GB overwrote.
Now I'm just waiting for "blabbermouth" Arnie to share his mutual
feelings with you and congratulate you with your great insights.
