I am very new to this forum, and as soon as I searched for a helpful topic I came across a thread that, based upon the title, I thought may be of some help to me. Here is (what would have been if I werent't a newbie) a link to it:
excel-programming-vba-macros/1299147-multiple-match-formula-needed
Now, the first response to the OP in this thread is by a Moderator, Pepe Le Mokko (members/121904), and all it says is "Please read the yellow banner...". Since I am new, I had no idea what that means when I saw it, or how it can contribute to my need to glean information from that thread. I replied accordingly:
"I'm not sure the yellow banner will help me to understand what to do with this question or any answers posted. I'm guessing that the o.p. failed to follow a forum rule, but your response is cryptic, so I'm not sure if I should look for a better question find an answer for my issue or if the o.p. may have corrected whatever was the issue and now the answers here may help me..."
Then I received a response from another moderator (actually a Forum Guru), JeteMc (members/815954), in which I am accused of "hijacking" the thread. Why is there a need to publicly accuse me of nefarious behavior? I had no intention of posting in that thread, until I saw that an extremely unhelpful, cryptic, moderation comment raised the spectre of unhelpfulness of the rest of the thread, and I felt a need to ask for clarification. My response to Pepe Le Mokko is, IMHO, completely relevant to that particular thread, so I request that the Guru now clarify why there is a need to insult me for requesting clarification of such a cryptic remark by a moderator.
