I've also seen people saying this is cool and giving links.

I wasn't angry just a little upset, maybe I was too emphatic about it 
and looked like I was pissed off. I'm OK with questions about it, but is 
also logical and more reasonable to clear your doubts on the website 
since that is the main purpose of it, asking things not being obvious on 
the site or forums well that is understandable, at least is more logical 
for me to behave this way.

I apologize if anyone felt punched in the face, that was never my 
intention, anyway I was showing the way to the best source of info about it.

In deed.

Lol :-D

Well, I never thought it was that strong, I apologize again. Although it 
wasn't because I was semi-informed and I could give some detail, was 
because of the pessimistic question/attitude like I didn't make sure 
this was legit before posting it here, but I think , as Warp and others 
posted here you need diplomacy and I was a bit emo about it, which 
clouded my rationality, is just that I feel emotionally attached to the 
WCG, you know what I mean?

Cheers.
