No, that doesn't follow at all from what I said. So please don't pervert my reasoning by claiming it does.
Imagine someone who complains that his gas mileage is lousy, and a friend advises he consider switching from a big van to a small car, seeing as the van can hold 8 passengers but this person commutes to work alone. The person retorts, "Oh, yeah, right, why don't you advise me to walk to work and have done with it?!" That's you.
Or pretend I noticed that you were using a baseball bat to swat a fly, and suggested a more appropriate utensil - something you will wield more effectively and easily, given what you're trying to do. The baseball bat will prove extremely useful when the time comes that you're actually trying to hit a baseball, but right now you're not. Yet you complain that the bat is awfully heavy and keeps smashing your window - and you keep missing the fly.
If you didn't want advice, why did you post a question? I may be wrong, I may be dense, I may be ignorant, but I do have some experience doing exactly what you say you're trying to do, and my intentions in responding to your post were good (to help you) - and my logic was not at all as you misrepresent it. You don't have to do as I suggest, obviously, but to insult me, and in public at that, is uncalled-for. m.
