If you do not know how files work, do not be insulting. Any file can be
split and reassembled regardless of what is in it.

Until you adjust your attitude no one will be able to help you, no matter
how much they may want to, and you won't be worthy of the help.
When volunteers help you for free, you owe them respect and a willingness
to work with them, not insult them. You owe this even if you were paying
for support, but it is doubly important when something is community
supported.
