To which the easy response is, "I don't think Dean would like you not reading the manual thoroughly".

The hard response is, you're right. There are some harsh responses. I don't think they were to your initial question, though. All you got from the first set of responses were rule references and a "look more carefully"--in effect, your answer with a gentle reminder about the manual having the information.

It was to your comment about it not being easy/not having a wheel section, and to a comment about it being easy to overlook something being a reason CD is great, that the harsher responses came. When you respond in sort of a dismissive tone, especially to something important like reading the manual, then you can expect some people to get rather annoyed. When they do, they tend to get a bit harder on others.

It wasn't your question that we were annoyed at. It was the perceived attitude of the followup post that we were annoyed at. There's a difference.
