I would respond to the "Thanks for the no help" but I am unable to find sufficient insults. My apologies.

I'm glad to be of no help!

I hope to be of no help in the future.

the replies on this thread have got to be the funniest I've read on the entire forum!

keep up the great work guys, without your comedic personalities and quick put downs it just wouldn't be the same

Are you sure you want help with that? Perhaps an extra topping?

Rofl I just came on the thread yesterday, and thought this forum was dead, but from looking at these replies it seems not that much dead, although the cummunity is a bit empty.

Oh and for the "thanks for no help" keep it to yourself, whenever I am in that same situation I try to figure it out on my own know that no one is obligated to help you.
