However....

"Drain-3 anyone ?" That comment clearly is meant to embarrass.

"Do you really think we wouldn't have spotted an error like this in the last 2 years? " It is clear from the sarcasm that he believes the questions should not have been asked and that the asker is an idiot.

The correct answer would have been:
"Drain -3 causes this. Glad to be of help!"

Sorry to have inconvenienced anyone but I did not appreciate the sarcasm. I believe that most people on this forum not only know the game well but are eager to help others learn it without putting them down in any way.
If your feelings are so easily bruised that you have to have a ... "sweet" answer like you suggest, then perhaps public forums (god forbid the internet in general) just aren't the place for you. You don't like sarcasm - 31.5% of the population is sarcastic, while only 7.2% would've given you anything like your "correct answer".
