A friendly jab at ya, Nico. No harm meant. :)
I'd wager I spent close to an hour or more writing that, but then, I was slightly distracted here and there. Still, my point was that you could have been a little more polite in your response. That's all. I wasn't trying to imply that you had to give him a long, drawn out answer that spanned 10 pages and 3 hours. Just to be a little friendlier in your reply, that's all.
These forums are here to help people. The least we can do is be polite about it when we do so. It's one thing to ask a question that's on the first page of the forums. It's quite another to ask something that hasn't been addressed in quite some time (as the fact that the answers are found in the archives would show). Had it been a case of the former, I would have agreed with your response. But, seeing as how the question hasn't been raised in some time, I don't think an abrasive reply is in order. You may disagree with me on that, but that's how it's been done for as long as I can remember.
Just my two cents. Take it as you will.
