No, it is always condescending. Anybody can go to SF and download. It
is not brain surgery.

Too bad. I have an attitude because I am not going to let people push
me around and insult me for being right. If you cannot comprehend
that from all the posts then perhaps you should keep your ideas to
yourself. You haven't had to deal with this person.

I see 100% chance that you do not know what you are talking about because
you are not closely involved. You should check all the posts more carefully.
Don't worry you will not be the first person who does not see this clearly.
