Unfortunately your fairness and open mindedness provides and excellent stage
on which the troll routinely performs. You also distort the
facts. No one feels the need to attack anyone who posts an incorrect
answer, much less gloat over it. However, there are a few participants
in this group, first and foremost me, who recognize Mr. Daniels' unbridled
arrogance, loathe it, and expose it for what it is.

Defend and support him, attack and criticize me, do as you please. It is
not going to make Mr. Daniels' "Not until you've put
at least one macro into it!" remark any less incorrect or change the fact
that it was a statement born of his uninformed arrogance.

My "dogged determination" is to be fair and open-minded. Instead of
challenging every incorrect answer, I find it sufficient to post a
correct answer for the benefit of the OP. If the person who posted
the incorrect (or less helpful) answer sees my answer and tacitly
files that knowledge away for future use, fine. If the person who
posted the less than helpful answer wants to challenge my answer,
then I will discuss the issue. But I do not feel the need to attack
anyone who posts an incorrect answer, much less gloat over it.

In the case of Ctrl+Home vs.Ctrl+H, Peter's was a silly answer but not
entirely impossible (though I considered it unlikely). The behavior of
certain commands and features with the WordPerfect options enabled is
rather specialist knowledge, and you wouldn't get it by using Word
2007, in which those options no longer exist (thank goodness!). As I
did happen to have this knowledge, I was able to supply what I
believe to be the correct answer. Since the OP has not come back to
say one way or the other, for all we know he might actually have
pressed Ctrl+H by mistake.

It is not unusual to have to assume that an OP may not actually have
enough knowledge to frame the right question, that is, that the
question, as stated, may not represent the actual question or problem,
and the solution may lie elsewhere than in an answer to the
exact question asked.

No. Though it is unusual, rude and offensive to publically bet that
an OP is a fumble fingered moron who inadvertenly presses CTRL+h
when they post asking why pressing CTRL+Home brings up the Find
dialog. That instance, like this one, makes it clear that often Mr.
Daniels thinks he knows far more than what he actually does know.

Your argument points to a dogged determination to defend Mr. Daniels.
Mine is to suggest that if he doesn't know the correct answer then
it is ok to leave it to those who do and to suggest that he check
his opinions and assumptions about how Word works before posting
them as statements of fact.

I think Greg interpreted "knowledge" as being on your part rather
than on the part of the OP. Your meaning was clear to me, viz., "I
will not assume that the OP already knows what I'm about to say if
he hasn't said so."

Does Mr. Daniels imagine that people have nothing else to do with
their lives than study the posting times of his mostly incorrect
posts? Unlike your stalkers, as you like to call them, you rarely
know the
right answer to any question.

I will not assume knowledge not explicit in their postings.
Oh really? Now there is a sharp reversal of habit. Who crowed these
words less than a month ago?

"Try reading for _content_ and _context_ rather than, as you always
do, only for the specific question asked, where a more sensitive
reader can intuit what's actually going on from what is unsaid."

Cheers.
