This is the worst argument I've ever heard. They didn't have time to do
this?
<A HREF="URL to the DLL file here">Click here for necessary DLL</a>
That's bullshit. It took me about 5 seconds to type that line.

How STUPID are you? Don't you realize that we're not talking about how
easy it is to get the file! I'm sure everyone on this list could find
the file in a minute if they needed to. It is not hard at all! The fact
of the matter is, the file should have been included in the ZIP, *or*,
better yet, put on the web page as a separate download for those that
don't have it. Your argument is WEAK, and you keep trying to say how you
are "laughing" at everything sensible being told to you. I hope that you
realize how stupid you sound when you say that you are laughing at
something that is correct!
