Your example provided no information not already available from the sources he had consulted. At the same time, your post to him contained two gratuitous personal attacks directed at him. The trend seems to be in the wrong direction, since your latest post to me contains essentially nothing other than a personal attack, and no additional information at all on the question. For an example of how to properly answer questions of this kind, see my own reply to the original question, which contains an entire page of explanation, and no attacks on the person asking the question at all.
