before I stated my points, but I wont refere to my previous mail now, 
you may find it insulting.

So the good thing is that I did not find your help useful and I could 
recognize that you have not understood my question well.

It would have had been bad, if a user  thought that you understood the 
question and have correctly responded to that, it will confuse them more 
and will cause more problems instead of being helpful.
