I too apologize. Let me try to be clearer.
You were wrong about me being mistaken, but that is not quite the issue. Try to remember that most people posting here are actually trying to be helpful, but
whithin their limitations which may be of several origins - language, for instance. Many people posting here are from non-english countries, as I am for instance, thus sometimes failing to be clear all the time (though not reaching 'wed true' heigths!). What snaped me is that we all kinda expect contributive remarks - dialog - instead of split-hairish, picky, tiring remarks about tiny little things where something was slightly wrong or something like that. I think the word here is 'comprehension', without which, a forum ceases to be a fulfiling dialog and becomes a battle on who has the most detailed, impressive, uncontestable general knowlege about everyting - and specially so, when a counter-post seems to have a "ha! got you in a mistake" kind of feeling (something rather usual in this forum, and by the way, a mistake we all make now and then).
Dont get me wrong, Steve, I am not quite acusing you of being all that. Well, just in a few ocasions....
... you did that in your post below and I didn't like it. I was trying to help the guy, I admit that maybe in a too professoral manner, but then you came out of the blue, with the "sword of righteousness" in your hands. Sometimes that is not likeable, I think you can understand that. You have no way of knowing what versions of the game were released all over the world. Actually neither had I, but was that a reason for not asking? The "sword of righteousness" hurts. It is quite a responsability, not to draw it in every single opportunity - a thing that, as I've seen, you do tend to do a bit often. And if I am saying this, is because I enjoy our interaction in this forum, and not to simply be a prick.
Anyway, I'm sorry too, Steve. Sorry for snaping. Guess I was a bit on edge at that time. I take back what I said.
