As a participant in that thread, I have to say that my honest
disagreements with egd were not due to any lack of knowledge of the
subject on his part.  In fact, while the rest of us were spouting off
about the probability of various theoretical causes, he was the only
one sitting there with cold, hard data.  He ascribed his data to an OS,
and I attributed it to a NAS.  But we never called each other names. 
Take the hint.

Your suggestion was no such thing.  You were suggesting that, lacking
data to the contrary, we should assume the questioner always has the
very lowest possible level of technical knowledge and not bother them
with answers that required slightly more than the bare minimum computer
proficiency.  egd's position was that answers should be tailored to the
level of the questioner, but lacking sufficient information about the
questioner, we should assume no reasonable questioner would be offended
by having some of the proffered solutions to their problem be too
technically complicated.

We also have me.
