The moral of the story is that unless you post your own knowledge, partial or mistaken though it may be, it is unlikely that an expert will ever post to correct errors or fill in gaps, and as a result we all are less educated. Your less complete posting on the subject was the message which prompted the more complete reply, and thus you bear partial responsibility for the more complete reply as well, for which I thank you as well as its poster. It is often humbling to be educated. It should never be humiliating.
