We are not annoyed, just amused by your youthful newbieness.

Uncle Al adds rich, technically cogent commentary with lots of
school-of-hard-knocks spicing.  He showing you your future by example.

>(Your posts) do not help, they only insult people.

They don't help YOU because you're too young to take Uncle Al's
lessons on board.  My honest recommendation is that when you are older
and more seasoned, go back and revisit Uncle Al's postings and web
pages, and then at last you will understand that it is YOU who was
deficient here, not Uncle Al.  

Would that there were more no-nonsense technically proficient people
like him around.  Takes the long view in social issues too.  He is not
afraid and scorns those who are, and that includes most journalists,
politicians, and youngsters like you whose thoughts and opinions are
controlled by the media.
