Amen to that!! The emails without a face make some people feel they don't have to live by the rules of politeness that we all need to live in society, or maybe some people never learned these rules which reflects to a poor upbringing. As a teacher, I have to deal, and try to change some of the rude behavior of students, too bad some "adults" have to live this way too.
I noticed your mistake, but chalked it up to forgetting what type of engine the posting was about, but some people have to belittle others in order to make themselves feel smart, very sad for these small minded and insecure people.
