Well, since you put it so obnoxiously,

BEGIN RETURN FLAME

I was one of the "unimaginative" people who corrected you. I sent that
correction because it was a factual matter that directly affected your
understanding of the question that was being asked. I did not address
the question because the answer required FACTS, not IMAGINATION, and
I had no facts to contribute. Would you prefer that I used my imagination
and made up an answer?

FLAME OFF.

I used to believe in nihilism, but now I don't believe in anything.
