Well, you kind of made a pointless thread.... So naturally you're going to get a lot of crap for it.
It's just how it works. :|
If you're bored then make a thread that has somewhat of a purpose, or just post on other, already-made thread.
The 'popular' people on the forum tend to overreact and give new forumers and new players a hard time... even though simply telling them what they did wrong and letting the thread die would be more efficient.
I wish 'experienced' forumers would realize that if you give a new player a hard time, they are going to make more threads about it. Like this one, for example.
When I say "new player/forumer" I don't necessarily mean 'newb'.
A person that simply made a mistake while uninformed could replace the words 'new player' and 'new forumer'.
I guess that's all I have to say about it.
