And if the answer to the question is :

You can't. 

What have you done but waste net bandwidth without proposing a single
useful alternative?

Christ, you people are amazing.  If no one else is answering your
posts at all, then you should be glad somebody is posting a solution,
even if it isn't the one you want to hear.  If other people have
posted solutions, use the 'n' key to move on to the next message (or
does jOn slip by your office and wave a large truncheon in a
threatening manner until you read his posts?).

Sheesh.
