One truly snide way to respond to all of this would have been "You are
'college freshman who's just found Usenet', and I claim my five pounds."

But misunderstandings _are_ legion on the 'Net, so this is undoubtedly
just one of those things.  (On the third hand, it seems odd for
commentators' knees to jerk at "elitism" here, especially when said
"elitism" consisted only of an expressed reluctance to run software of
questionable necessity.)
