Look, my post was all about wrapping this up by agreeing to disagree.
Clearly that isn't something you are capable of doing.  I wasn't
addressing you, I was addressing a different part of this discussion
that (GASP!) didn't revolve around you.  I was explaining my
viewpoint, not attacking you or your point of view or anything else to
do with you.  I think if you would read the rest of what I wrote you
might learn something.  From 90% of the responses I see from you, it's
not the RTFM that rubs me wrong, it's your general bitter attitude.  I
don't know what the problem is and frankly I don't care.  You can do
what you like and treat other people however you like.  But let me say
this, if you ever, EVER jump me for answering someone's question that
you find beneath you, all bets are off.

But anyway, in the meantime and in the interest of agreeing to
disagree, I'm done with this.  It's your God-given right to be a dick
if you like.  It's your life.

Enjoy it.
