I think that antagonising those trying to help will not enamour you to
others reading your question. There is nothing wrong with being bold
when answering questions and no-one knows everything. To suggest that
someone is ignorant because they are unaware of that particular mysql
quirk is absolutely ludricrous. By using the definition of ignorant
as 'not knowing absolutely everything' you must include yourself or
you would not have to come here to ask your question in the first
place.
