I am not sure to catch up with your sense of humor. What is the point of
making a joke when somebody is in trouble. Even if my problem might be
simply ignorance, I think I deserve a little of respect

Then Ben replied:

Whoa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nicolas, there was not a SHRED of humor meant in my reply. Count the blades
in the lens you are having a problem with and re-read my reply. Then,
apologize to me IN PUBLIC for your totally out of control comment.

No one deserves to be berated like that IN PUBLIC for sincerely trying to
help you. Your problem evidently IS ignorance.

Ben:

I enjoy your contributions to the list (...really), but I think you need to
go with the flow a little here.  English is obviously not this writer's first
language and he was probably not clear on your original response (e.g. I
don't even know what "nonagonal" means, for example.  9-sided?).

Take a look at this thread again.  The guy says he's "in trouble", he admits
to the possibility of his own ignorance, and he asks for "a little respect". 
Is this so horrible and "hot-headed" as you say in another message?  You are
asking him for a "PUBLIC" apology for his "totally out of control comment",
you are telling him his problem is ignorance.  I don't understand any of this
Ben.  This guy is not your enemy and neither am I.   Based on the way you
layed into this poor guy, I'm not sure he's the one that should do the
apologizing.  Save your anger for the real bad guys.

John
