That is very much of an insult. And usually when someone can't backup their points they launch into insults or "I'm a game developer" "I've been working with PC's all my life" type i'm better then you so that means my points are more validated then you. Well no shit sherlock(pardon my french) Being on a list dealing with a highly specialised subject like programming. I would expect most people here to have industry experience or to have worked with computers a substantial amount of time.
