I didn't expect you to bother. I didn't think this was your problem. But I guess you have different views than me. I genuinely try to help by providing examples of technique. I really could care less about showing skill level. I just know I like as many examples and understanding as possible when I ask a question and try to help with the same if I can help.

Sorry you saw it as something other than that and decided to take the route you took.
