Do you just want me to repeat myself? He's defeatist, typing almost incoherently and he's clearly already abandoned this thread. The reasons why he doesn't deserve help are self evident.
Are you kidding? Is being coherent your litmus test for deserving help? He's probably a little depressed and emotionally rattled right now, and being incoherent (I understood him just fine, though) is absolutely a side effect of being in a dire, stressful situation.
What are you referring to?
Also, feeling frustrated and like you've hit a wall is just part of the nature of learning to program. Building up the mental fortitude and patience to keep going and keep trying to see what you're wrong about (and thus get around the blockage) takes time.
Why do you think he seems undeserving of help?
