    Because most people asking those sorts of questions haven't done the basic
    things that were suggested first, and it is impossible to tell from a first
    email that you have. It's not *you* who isn't being given any credit, it's
    "random person posting to a mailing list", an individual who, I am sure you
    will agree, rarely acquits himself (almost always *him*self, alas) well.

    If you don't have the buttons on the toolbar, try turning off 'Enable
    Custom Toolbars' in Preferences, and see if they appear. If they don't,
    that's a fairly major bug.
