I must disagree. Everyone must follow the rules on a moderated forum. There is
no excuse (age, gender, nationality, religion...) for not to obey the rules. And
if someone doesn't know something we can help him/her and give advice. Giving
advice is not offending. Daniel did follow the rules and I didn't say anything
about that to him.

I don't know if Daniel is young or old and I don't care. I believe I was not
impolite when I adviced him and if it would have been any other user I would
have given the same advice.
