Haha, i hate to break it to you Bones, but that's not how human to human relationship is working, even in the context of a forum. There are many ways the OP would follow if he was slightly interested, by active listening, requesting clarifications, questioning some aspects, thanking some ideas, precising his constraints/views ... or at the very least, reacting when the discussion is suggesting that the OP is gone.
Here, you can safely assume the OP doesn't give a s.... anymore (and I clearly dont blame him) and continue your rant...
