I didn't intend to be obnoxious. I *did* intend to be judgmental of bad
practice.

I explained my rationale in an earlier post. You appatently neither
read it nor asked for the clarification which I would have been happy to
reiterate if requested. This is not the first time that you've taken me
to task for supposedly failing to provide information that I in fact
provided.

Legitimate criticism is welcome. But if you can't bother to check that
the criticism is borne out by the facts, then please don't bother to
post it.

I provide lots of assistance, and regularly get thanked for it. If
you're going to criticize something about my posts, please make sure the
criticism actually applies. In this case, your stated criticism was
simply inaccurate.
