And here is my very point. From the thread in question, we didn't know that you were asking which you should install. The first few people thought you were asking which they had.
You need to be clear. This is text. There are no tones or inflections like with voice. There are no facial expressions. And no one here is a mind reader (at least, not that I know of).
This wasn't aimed at you specifically, d_p_w_k. It just happened to be your thread that Halx made his statement that I quoted.
No need to apologize. Just take the pledge...
...to attempt to start threads a "better way". What can it hurt to try to get away from the "yes or no" single sentence thread starting approach?
