OK. If people are going to take me being nice that way, I'll just go back
to my regular flaming, then.

There's a difference between learning and teaching. What you're obviously
doing is not called learning, but trying to teach others, and incorrect
things at that.

I'm not interested in seeing anyone pushing the envelope of social or
technical ineptitude.

It's not working, you don't seem frightened away from your cluelessness
yet. I guess you're just not insecure, but then again, people that without
regret speak without knowing what they're talking about, as well as
blithely ignore traditional and well-developed conventions for
communication (like quoting), seldom are, so I'm justified in what I do.

That answer only had one line (since it wasn't word-wrapped properly), it
was at the top, all of the post was quoted below, and it wasn't a correct
answer. The existence of a registry is totally irrelevant to whether the
config is valid, and there has also never been a "wineconfig". What you
'meant' to say isn't going to excuse you, either... consider, if *I* don't
understand your post, how do you expect a total newbie to understand it
correctly? Improper advice would definitely takes the joy out of learning
new software, wouldn't it?

Now go ahead and be frightened. It may make you a better person; it won't 
kill you, so it can only make you stronger.
