I do - and I do.  However, my point was that not everyone is at your 
level of knowledge of Wine - as, indeed, you are not at my level of 
knowledge in some field or other (not knowing your background, I cannot 
say what that field may be, but I can guarantee that there is one) - and 
simply to accuse people of being dumb because of that is somewhat 
offensive.  Should you ever need my help in that field - or anyone 
else's help in a field in which their knowledge and experience is 
superior to yours - would you be happy with my calling you dumb simply 
because you come to me for assistance and education rather than going to 
Google?  I suspect you would not tolerate that kind of treatment from me 
and I would therefore ask that you not expect us to tolerate it from 
you.  Thank you.
