It is pretty minute in the grand scheme of things. However, there are a lot of people on this forum who have had to deal with pettiness in personalities and people withholding good information and hiding behind walls. So, because of this, it makes many to consider this to not be a small thing. Of course given, as has been already pointed out, the position Dr. V claims, it only makes it more pressing.

I do take exception at your use of the term "some internet person". Perhaps you didn't mean it the way it sounds, but people here, even yourself, are not just "some internet" people. We are all real.
In fact, at a time when I had lost everything due to a natural -- and partially unnatural -- disaster, many of the people on this forum were members of another forum elsewhere and assisted me in my time of need, not only in prayers, but in giving of gifts and donations that sustained my family. I cannot tell you how proud it made me to be able to say that I did not have to rely on the government's assistance (though I did accept it) because my brothers and sisters were supporting me.
