  Whoah, there. It's obviously not a joke. Dude, you made a good point but you completely lacked any tact. You could have just simply warned the guy that uninstalling the browser may be enough. And I believe he knows that deleting the shortcut icon is not the same as uninstalling. It's easy to tell it was just an important part of the story because to people who aren't tech savvy, deleting an icon is uninstalling as far as they're concerned and the deletion of the icon was probably very significant to his father. So chill out, man. We may be a community of techies but we can't possibly know it all. What may seem a obvious to you may not be to another one of us. It doesn't mean we're stupid. For example, its like the back end web programmers who know little to nothing of front end stuff. It may seem like someone who knows that complicated back end stuff can easily figure out HTML and CSS in an hour but sometimes not. Just chill.
