Michael,
Check some of the threads in the Breakpoint Forum. A few laughs can help.
Sometimes it seems that the same advice is accepted when the second or third person proposes it, usually in slightly different terms. When I get to the point of annoyance, I usually just drop out of that thread. Sometimes I jump in (as here) when it seems like the OP is not paying attention or several responses have made varying guesses about what the OP wanted. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be any universal technique for staying calm. Remember you are not obligated to continue to post in any thread.
