I personaly don't see anything rude here. Detn8r pointed you to the FAQ link, and when kendrew responded, I simply quoted the FAQ with the specific info. If you consider that rude, you are being a bit oversensitive. We really are a friendly bunch, and I'm sorry you've taken our answers to be rude. It can be quite easy to misinterpret someones response in a forum, as there is really no way to tell if they are being sarcastic, funny or simply rude. One of the best ways to deal with this is by using a smiley of some sort when your post is intended to be lighthearted.
Now, back to the reason we're here, have we answered your question to your complete satisfaction?
