I's say you (Rolf) did something that Olin did not like, and Olin 
expressed that. You comment a lot on the lack of 'niceness' in Olin's 
reply, but how about the basic message: he was disappointed that someone 
spoiled the challenge before the intended audience had enough time to 
work out the answer for themselves. Like spoiling a joke by jelling the 
punch line too early. Do you disagree with that?
