I feel the same way, but I think I can respond without regrets.

He gave you a polite direct answer to your question.

He gave another polite direct answer to your question. It was not rude in any way shape or fashion and for you to take offense to either of these answers requires a giant disconnect between what you think you asked and the actual questions.

Now you decide to be rude not just to Kovid but to all others who posted in this thread previous to this statement.

You did ask politely and you were answered politely and directly. To say you "Got blown off - repeatedly and rudely" is simply out of touch with what is actually included in this thread.
Congratulations on most likely being added to Kovid's ignore list.

Most folks upon realizing they misinterpreted the situation would apologize for the subsequent rude posts not for the misinterpretation.

It was polite of hrynkiw. Personally why you decided to become rude in the face of polite, direct answers I'll leave to the professionals.

You choose to become become rude, belligerent, and condescending in response to polite, direct answers and after a weak apology you turn around and blame the victim of your rudeness for causing you to lose it. Again I'll leave analysis of that trait to professionals.
