Simple solution for that stuff is to just kill the thread.
If you want help, then use an informative subject line and just
explain what is going wrong. When you post hysterical subject lines
and it just goes downhill from there I don't even bother reading the
messages. Nobody wants to see you suffer, but nobody around here is
obligated to help either, so at least try to be nice about it...
