With all due respect Uri, you're not being particularly friendly. This is a list for beginners, people are going to say things you think are stupid from time to time, but you should either stay your hand or be more constructive. Looking at your last few posts the quoted text below isn't an isolated case... Speaking as someone who was once a beginner himself ( ;-) ), please be a tad more constructive and a bit more warm and friendly :)
