....as i said, i have read *far* too much documentation, from official
sources (MSDN, vendor SDKs, etc..) where that level of certainty is not
warranted. sometimes there is a *context* that one must be aware of,
which is not obvious from inline syntax samples alone.

thus my asking for clarification was reasonable, neutral, and a safe
bet. i think your reply was none of those things.
