A), as he requested, please don't top-post.

B). he already *did* give you the URL, and it's right there in the quote
(not snipped for that reason). Most likely you'd have noticed it

easier and more natural to re-read previous posts while writing your
own.

We don't mind helping people out, but this does seem like a little much.
