IzzyR: I guess what everyone is trying to tell you politely is that you are acting like a know-it-all child, demeaning people who know less about the subject than you do, even though they are coming to you to hear more about it. Many people in this thread have done exactly what you have done, just with much more patience and understanding. You seem to enjoy being able to point out that people are wrong and that you know better.
