Everyone asking politly gets a polite answer, those bluntly accusing, even more so if they are wrong about it, are told that their attitude lacks respect. Repeat offenders just show their ignorance and hence get that kind of hints. He is one of them.

You are possibly correct about everything except one small thing, the only person with the right and authority to provide those 'hints' are the forum moderator, which last time I looked, wasn't you. When anyone *other* than the moderator engages in vociferous 'hints' to anyone, it just ties up the bandwidth with irrelevent messages and flames and counter 'hints' and draws in more 'opinions' about the irrelevent subject. This bandwidth is better used discussing the *relevent* subject(s) of this forum. I suggest the best idea is not to poffer 'hints', but to hit the NEXT button and ignore the off-topic or disrespectful attitude. To do otherwise just fans the flames and does not stop the dis\respectful attitudes or messages that contain them. Let Patrick do his job as it becomes necessary, the rest of us can either hit NEXT or blacklist the offending sender from their own machine.
