What a rude, condescending thing to say to someone who is asking for help understanding something.

- smoyer 13y agoGiven the later exchange between us ... I agree that it was rude and I'd like to apologize. I'm sorry. I don't generally make excuses when I apologize because I think it diminishes the value of the apology itself. In this case I think it's fair to admit I thought he was trolling (and apparently so did his down-voters). In any case, hopefully I'll be a better man tomorrow ... iron sharpens iron.
- agumonkey 13y agoIt was 5% trollish in the delivery for I could have been a little more explicit rather than just throwing my metaphor out in the wind. Happy that 1) I wasn't too far off 2) the situation is resolved. ps: the explanation for my quick oneliner is that I often see very limited protocols (say FTP, or SMTP) that require many round trip over the wire where it would now (I understand back in the days servers were anemic) make sense to distribute the computation a little on both side. Not unlike memory IMHO.
