PaulM ( I guess ? ) You need to realize several things. First in this group the same questions get asked all the time. For which there have already been appropriate responses So searching the groups *first* *should be* what anyone needing answers should do.
Secondly, interjecting with what I could consider a very unhelpful response is not exactly helping the group, or you. A proper response to your post would be something like what Jesse Cobra responded with. "Well, it works for me", and then nothing else. Your response was a complain in my own eyes, and then perhaps an attempted insult comparing the Beagelbone with the rPI. So "useless complaint" fits the situation very well I think. This is a group for the Beaglebone black, not the rPI. Also, the person you gave a hard time to ( Robert ) probably very well would have helped you if you gave more information, but the only thing you responded to was "useless complaint". Not to mention he works very hard in this community, and appreciated my many. Myself included. So keep these things in mind the next time you need help, and remember no one here gets paid to answer questions on this group.
