look, thats fine. but i see it as selective. does he have to say it (as i did) to get corrected? is it not obvious how rude he was? as his stuff is still there. and i think you missed my point in WHY i said it. i said it b/c up until that point, nothing prior i had said was meant in ANY way as a personal attack, but he took many things as such, and without basis or reason or grounds to do so. so i was demonstrating that THIS was a personal attack, (so he'd know what one was) while the other stuff was not. i still see no way he could take what i was saying personally, (the non censored stuff), its ridiculous.

I don't disagree that you find yourself > in the latter set, but not everyone considers it to be "broken". thats b/c if they are mp3 users they have found a workaround via user defined tags. these are not part of the id3 standard either btw (obviously).
