You |
18 |
are either trying to be funny or have an obvious lack of |
19 |
understanding about humanity. |

|
21 |
I was simply pointing out that screenshots are |
22 |
not the most useful tool i describing a process that is |
23 |
subject to fast changes. Especially as most people tend to |
24 |
expect the screenshots to match reality. |
25 |
|
26 |
If you think most people will understand that |
27 |
screenshots don't necessarily match what is displayed on |
28 |
screen and can easily adapt, you are either very young or |
29 |
have been living under a rock. |
