Great example here of how people get help on this forum.
Sarcasm? No, I think he was being serious.
Sometimes, not always but sometimes, when one posts a legitimate question here out of ten responses nine will be snarky commentary that are neither informative nor helpful but are occasionally genuinely funny and one will be an actual answer to the OP's question. This thread was not one of those threads.
Also was not an example of getting or giving help, but rather the opposite. The OP went with his own workaround rather than learning how to get his BT transfer working right. Conflicting advice didn't help.
I'm not sure what's more depressing-- the way this thread went, or that someone could read it and think it was a good example of a helpful thread. Point taken, but DP was able to use john-o's advice to solve his immediate problem: How to get the pics from the phone to the computer, thus making DP's need to solve his BT connectivity issue less pressing. *sigh* That was not john-o's advice-- re-read the thread. john-o, apparently not being familiar with BT transfer, encouraged the OP to go with his own kludge rather than get this working right.
