You inability to see how lame your claimed search was, or your searching capabilities are, borders on willful denial.

How is it that I found your answers in 0.03 seconds with the ultra-tricky, super secret code word of "mounts"?
My assumption is based upon your either lying about searching, or being piss poor at it. I chose to give you benefit of the doubt and went with the latter.

Anyone who claims to have fruitlessly searched on the topic of "mounts" is cloaking themselves in bullshit.

The forced humor was my attempt at biting my tongue. It was only as strained as my patience. Neither of which is my forte or strong-suit.
I could give a flying rats ass about giving you a life lesson, you're not worth my time. However, a lesson about how this forum works, where to find and how to utilize a search function, you betcha.

I don't really care how old you are, however I am guessing that I am easily old enough to be your father
youngster. I judged your intelligence by the well-written coherence of your posts, and I judged it correctly. It was never in question, until you decided to tell me how to respond to your inquiry. Which was both pompous and asinine.

You'll find that it's not really my nature.
My level and helpful response to your first inept post was
heavily tempered by the fact that you are new to the site. Diplomacy is less than second nature for me, it is a forced and concerted effort. I do my best. I'm much more happy when eviscerating deserving jackasses, merely for the fun of it. You now qualify.
Nor is being polite my nature Cowboy, not by a long shot. You would shit yourself if you
really understood my true nature. I bit my tongue as well. Your noob inquiry was because you are too damn lazy to search, or you don't have a clue how to do so. Now we know it's the former.
Trying to scare or intimidate me because you might devolve into a "hair raising vivisection"
Mr. Villain would actually be funny if it wasn't both so pathetic and self-aggrandizing.

I either respond or I don't. You are, of course, under no obligation to behave as I do, and if you want to waste your breath cursing in binary at someone who dared question your so-called 'help', well naturally that's your prerogative.
I don't give a shit what
you do on other forums, I don't even care what other "elder" folks do on this forum. Never been one to follow the crowd, rather the opposite. Nor do I care whether you are held in high-esteem over yonder. Congratulations. On
this forum you're just another bumbling noob until you quit acting like one.
I was in fact being nice, close as I get. In my first post. After that, I was also holding my tongue hot-shot. Apparently we were both biting back our responses, the irony rather priceless. If you're an "elder", then you should damn well know how forums are run. The same-old tired-ass questions, because someone who is an "elder" cannot find a fucking search button or use it correctly is hysterical.

Evil son-of-a-bitch, guilty as charged. That was never in question, it was my self-definition for more than a few decades. Hell, I might quote you as my new signature.

If you guessed that I likewise labor under a similar affliction you'd be correct, but I'm quite certain I do it a damn sight better than you.
Verbal mercenary is one of the nicer things I have been called by those that know me well.
I'm unimpressed that you are unimpressed. Impressing you, or anybody else, is not real high on my list of priorities. Best of luck, Hotshot. I'll be more than happy to throw down with you intellectually or verbally any time. Now seems particularly ideal.

Gee golly, The Villian. I'd be quaking in my booties noob, except that I naturally gravitate towards trouble and a rough time because I like it. Like a pitbull on a ribeye. Get your shit together and learn to find the search button jackass, instead arguing with me about it, telling me what you would do, or attempting to impress me with your evil and scawey moniker. The Villian, holy-moly I better go run and hide.
