Good grief.  Is it really *that* hard to admit you did something wrong 
and apologize sincerely?

All-caps titles are a big no-no, jmadsen.  Many spam filters use that 
alone as enough to drop a message into the Junk folder.  They're also 
extremely rude.  And, in this case, they had EXACTLY the opposite of the 
effect you intended.

And instead of doing the one thing that might have gotten you a break 
for it--admitting that it was a bad idea--you act like a royal jerk.

Yeah, that's really the way to get people to want to help you.
