A more important question is if you did not wish to get the call your
helpdesk answer, why did you not provide all of the information. If you
want help with an issue only providing half the information is only going
to piss off the people trying to help.

People cannot read your mind, and giving them sarcastic commentary after
they have tried to help based on the information you have provided is
somewhat unfair.
