    When you answer questions like these in a technical newsgroup, you're
    purporting to have some expertise on the subject. When it comes out
    that you don't know a whole lot about the technology, retorts like that
    are likely.

    If you don't like it, don't post to Usenet, because it happens all the
    time.
