That's a whole different story. If that's what you mean, then say so,

If I may make an observation... sometimes it seems that no matter how careful one tries to be in posting here on OSNews, somebody always wants to turn it into a fight. I don't see the utility in that. I know that you say that you don't really care, but the tone of your words suggests otherwise. Or perhaps I am just misinterpreting the tone.
