The offer was genuine and not intended to be sarcastic.
I've been on here a long time and I think most who know me would say I'm a fairly genuine sort of person. I don't get into slanging matches on the internet. My philosophy is that a forum is like talking face to face with people and requires the same amount of courtesy and politeness.
Unfortunately it's just words on a screen so they are open to being interpreted differently to what the writer intended even with lots of smiley faces on the page.
"Measure, cut, strip ends, thread on heat shrink, twist, flux, solder, slide heat shrink over, heat, Your Done!
"
That's pretty much it but there are a couple of other factors to think about which I'll go into later.
Cheers
