Sorry, just to be clear:  "ignorant" in its absolute sense (not knowing
something about something), not its broad vernacular sense.  Also, just
ignorant on this specific topic. ;^)

"Ignorant" is one of those completely useful, completely explanatory words
that has taken on a bad rap.  I just really haven't found a word that's as
useful... I suppose "uneducated" might come close, but I'd almost see that
as more insulting.

No - it's a good word.  ;^)  Everybody and anybody is ignorant on any number
of topics and being ignorant isn't a "bad thing" in any sense.  But I
definitely could have explained myself better.

In any case it definitely wasn't meant insultingly.
