@SoundGuy: You are almost certainly more knowledgeable than I. And I don't know enough yet to always choose wisely between your advice and that of those who say the opposite.
But your aggressive, hostile, tone makes it harder for me to take the information you offer seriously. I am here for help, not a fight. When you are hostile, I feel like I want to just turn away.
Edit: Do you think I am a man? I notice that the aggressive attitude seems to come more often from guys who do, here. There is some subtle difference in gender roles at work that I do not understand -- the same post, when read by people who know I am female, often gets a very different response.
