Maybe your admission yesterday that you didn't understand the technicalities of the Internet were mere false modesty on your

When have I said that I don't understand the internet?

<looks up a bit>
Yep, I did say "yesterday".
16:58 GMT, to be precise.

"I don't know what IRC is, can't build flash pages, PHP chat rooms,
edit videos and a thousand other things. And nor do I understand the
ins and outs of newsgroups. Why should I?"

So - Back to the Introduction to Quantum Physics...

Oh, so that's all the internet consists of, huh? The fact that I run several websites, one for a working escort, one for a pub and have several other commercial projects in the pipeline means nothing then?

<rolls eyes>
No, but it does mean you're not omniscient. Which does mean that there is a list of things which you don't understand. Which means that what you classed as an "insult" is actually a truism.

Shall we add basic comprehension and logic to the list, too?

You have just said that I don't understand the internet. That's like saying that because I don't have an LGV licence, or a fork lift truck licence, or a bike licence, or a PCV+trailor licence, that I can't drive.
