The admin's response was...less than pleasant. Unfortunately, he deleted the topic, so I don't have an exact quote...but it was something to the effect of

Your tutorial, though awesome, is a tad off.

Some of us n00bs are actually perfectly literate. That's all right, though. I agree; some people are just too stupid to understand that. I fear for the future of humankind...
