I didn't class the second paragraph of David's e-mail as a basic answer. Thus my response. I have no need to impress anyone on here nor do I see myself as a sage. Obviously I've touched a nerve with you.

Obviously, you formed such an opinion some time ago, and you're entitled to it. But please don't tell us you're "utterly confused" and ask very basic questions, then tell us how offended you are when you get basic answers that don't acknowledge your advanced state of knowledge. Unless you're more interested in impressing everyone as a sage than in actually learning something, you're better off with answers that tell you too much than answers that tell you not enough to avoid the danger of making you feel slighted.
