Perhaps my response was harsh.  But when I see references like the one bellow, I 
start to flame.

If the above was meant as a harmless joke, I appologize for my remarks.  It looked,
however, like the guy has tried to position himself above this "other graduate 
student" who initiated the thread.  I was simply trying to vindicate him.  It is 
not the original question that drew my criticizm, but, rather, the way the answer
was provided i.e. in a blatantly tactless and discrespectfull manner.  Moreover,
I want to emphasize the importance of being able to ask questions, reagardless
of how "stupid" they may seem, in this forum.  As to whether or not I am making
any claims .....  I did not think so.  I only think that my comments were
technically correct, although offensive, yours, however, " ... he kept his post
to 80 chars/line while you ..." have no identifiable technical content at all.

Enough Said.
