It kind of bothers me when people jump down each others throaghts for accidently giving wrong information. Correct them, yes. Insult them, no. Even if you had been correct, it still bugs me because it is not necessary. Simply quoting a line of the docs would have sufficed and shown that you really had known what you were talking about.
