I just marveled at how a similar action can provoke such different responses. All the more because the topic actually belongs in this forum IMHO and not necessarily in the misc section, where it is now (twice). Instead of kicking someone in the eggs for missing out on a topic in the swamp that that misc section is, a nice little link sans comment would have done the trick too, I think.
Nothing to get outspoken about, I'd think. But your doctor has a nice philosophy. He's not from Vienna and frequenting this board, is he?
