Before passing final judgment, perhaps you should. Sure the OP's
question sounded naive to someone with decades of experience. However,
you and even the great Pooh had to start with the basics too. I could
be wrong, but I'm betting that you guys weren't born knowing this stuff
inside out.

I'm thinking that the OP thought this statement was just a tad bit
insulting,
"You're an idiot. Go learn something about Ohms Law for starters."
Personally, I wouldn't classify that as constructive criticism, but
that's just me. This is S.E.B. after all.

Actually Pooh was the first to make with the childish insults and, IMO,
he should have fully expected the response that he got from the OP.

Hurling petty insults probably shouldn't be confused with enlightening
someone.

I don't think the OP was offended by being "corrected", I believe it was
the unnecessary insults that pissed him off.

Not really, are you starting with the spelling flames again? You often
end sentences with a preposition, but does anyone ever bother making a
grammatical issue of that?
