MAC, this message is for you:

you said at the end of your diatribe:
PS Sorry. I'm not sounding off at you.

Wow, if that's not sounding off about him, what do you call it? And if you weren't, then what is the "sorry" for?

If you'd just empathize and imagine for a second that maybe he was being totally honest and truly only wanted to help, then from his point of view I don't see anything wrong with his posts at all. However a few wise people rightly pointed out you should not just blindly trust someone asking for a serial number until/unless they have been confirmed to be official representatives.

I see the whole thing as benign instance of misunderstanding which is very easy to do in an online forum!

I really felt that your generous use of the F-words and hells in your response above was uncalled for
