My goal is simple which is
a) Ask a question
b. Get help on that question
c. Summarize the results for the benefit of the tribal archives
In that case, make sure to mention that what you post are *not* tutorials or
step plans to be used by anyone, but just your personal experiences while
dabbing into something new (and showing it).
Currently your "benefit of the tribal archives" is to poisson it with
half-truths and full guesses (as shown in the above), which do not help
anyone, least of all the poor noob which thinks you are experienced and know
what you are talking about.
^^ this ^^
You mentioned, for example, that a 'grep.exe' is problematic,
where I clarified that there is no file named 'grep.exe' that was
proposed.
The problem with that is that while it is true for *your* machine, it does
not need to be for any of the machines reading your message (mine does have
it. Probably came with an installation of (a commandline version of) C or
C++ ).
What I *tried* to tell you is to start thinking defensively. Think beyond
your own and try to take your audiences computers into consideration too.
If you do not than you are in fact writing for an audience of one: You.
that's exactly what he's doing.
