That's the second time you have been rude to me, please stop it.
I had an issue which needed a re-boot so I couldn't post the explanation I was writing for the second post. 7 minutes.

Posting just a QSI is lacking, and I don't know that you are going to edit or something. If you think me telling you that I cannot mind read is rude, then that is not a me problem, because I was just stating a fact. Again with the editing being done. I cannot possibly know that.

Post the issue you are having with your second screen please.
This is my Fluxbox . There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My Fluxbox is my best friend. It is my life.
I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my Fluxbox is useless. Without my Fluxbox, I am useless.

You waited a total of about 5 minutes before implying that I was expecting mind reading. It WAS rude and impatient.
Yesterday you accused me of not having read the rules as the reason I hadn't posted the QSI....I simply forgot, today I posted the QSI in line with your expectations and had intended to post an immediate 2nd post but I wasn't fast enough for you.
Clearly you have a problem with me. Now apparently I am "lacking".
So you have so far accused me of not having read the rules, expecting others to be mind readers and that I am lacking.
And you think your approach isn't rude; wow.
Whatever you like to call it, your are hounding me...please stop it and give a person a break. Your role is not to bully people and you ARE bullying me.
