It's possible that english may not be Felipe's native language,
and Dave may not've thought of that. To a native english speaker,
Felipe's comment (which was very helpful!) could've also been
construed as being slightly rude. Perhaps Felipe meant to write
"mistaken" instead of "silly".

Also, as an aside, smileys are always helpful on usenet. :)
