Doesn't fuss me one bit when that poster is hostile, egotistical and
needy all at once.

Your level of knowledge of Cocoa and the Mac has nothing to do with my
reasons for chastising you. ("Berate" isn't actually the appropriate
word there. If you can understand why, you're well on your way to the
attitude adjustment you need.)

Wait. Stop right there.
I want you to look back at this thread - this mess that *you* started -
and find a single place where your *intelligence* was insulted. Or
commented on in any way, for that matter.
You can't. Never happened. I wouldn't be surprised if you *think* it
happened, because based on your responses - all we have by which to
judge, after all - you seem to keep misunderstanding what Dave (and now
I) actually said.
