personally i found it spectacularly condescending, but seeing as nobody else is reacting the same way it's likely still worth posting
I have a reputation for being condescending there. I must live up to it!!!
Besides, writing such a post would *require* a great deal of snobbishness on my part. I do not think I could have written it without pretending to be an external observer, and even claiming to be "above the system" as an external observer is condescending.
So, this was the only way to write the post, there was no other way (probably).
Still, I am glad you say it is worth posting. My thanks to everyone else who replied too.
Smiley to establish friendly tone: :p

It might be, but it is informative as well, so I don't feel like it's something worth mentioning.
no, i meant that it's still worth posting the guide thing. it doesn't make semantical sense otherwise?
Yeah, I get that. Maybe my statement was unclear. I meant that it may be condescending, but since it's informative, I don't feel that it's worth point out its condescending-ness.
