The OP in this thread http://forums.adobe.com/thread/418777?tstart=0

is unpleasantly rude to someone who I have much respect for and has helped me on several occassions and is generally considered an authority in his field. Though he is no longer an employee with Adobe, I do feel (though I know it's none of my business) that he should be given some sort of special forum status so that ignorant posters be aware of whom they are addressing.
