I'm not being mean, but honestly have a hard time understanding you. Can you explain what you mean in full sentences?

Please don't respond to a bad comment (like a personal attack) by adding one of your own. That also breaks the site guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html) and does no one any good.
