I am insanely patient with new folks, on any forum. Learning the ropes of forums or the craft/skill that brings us together, I'm excited to meet people and try to help out where I can. In this case, I wasted my time posting, trying to help this person, who at least outed himself before too much more time was spent on him. He must be very new at trolling to not have lasted but a few posts. Kinda sad really!
"Don't feed the trolls" indeed!
