Wow - mean spritedness, and the inability to accept help that was
requested. Generally people say thank you when receiving help. Even if
it is not going to be the solution they choose, they say "Thank you" and
move on. Read the final paragraph below for an example of how that is
done :)

Don't use my ideas, I don't care, others who have had similar problems
to yours may find the broader range of solutions helpful at some point.

Thank you for your comments regarding copyediting.

Best,
