Everyone, I feel like we got off on the wrong foot here. I asked what I thought was an intelligent enough question, but I'm new so it's entirely possible it was a stupid question. Where I got frustrated is rather than having someone politely point out that I may be asking the wrong question, I felt like I was condescended to. I know that's commonplace for the internet, but I simply don't appreciate it. When someone asks me a silly question about a subject I'm familiar with, I try to help them without mocking them. I don't feel I was treated that way, and so I stood up for myself. I do want to say that I appreciate the advice given, and will take it to heart. Additionally, I think that I could have done more research myself, so I apologize if I wasted your time. I'll try to be more mindful in the future. Thanks!
