Your annoyance is understandable, and yet this question and direct response from a founder is a very informative interaction to have recorded in this thread. Much more informative than if GP had simply stated the results of their Wikipedia research.
Sometimes a mediocre question is the landing pad for a great answer. No need to begrudge the question.
While I agree the founder's response was informative, it does not justify the completely erroneous statement/accusation that prompted it.
That most certainly should be called out -- especially when it was, at the time, the top voted comment.
People make mistakes. Maybe if you were less you combative your comments would get more upvotes.
I didn't feel like I was being combative, only pointing out OP was misinforming people. They didn't do even basic research, contrary to their statements. That negligence should be called out.
And I'm not here for upvotes. Who's being combative, again?
