I usually try to explain what I say, but this seemed too obvious to bother. Plus if you don't have the exp to get weapon skill up to 26 the glaive of prune might actually be better than most bardiches, because delay 17. So if I start explaining myself I have to write a whole paragraph, which I really didn't feel like at the time. Pointing out that the post above mine was wrong (in most circumstances where you actually might want to use a glaive or bardiche, because that means you probably want 27 weapon skill anyway) seemed better than just leaving it there without comment, so that's what I did.
It certainly would have been an improvement, at least in pointing those who are not so familiar with the game mechanics to the right way. Your "No." could lead to someone going "Why?".
It's nothing personal against you from my side - but sometimes it seems to me that some people on this forum forget they were once newbies as well.
I am not exempt from this behavior, of course. But I do my best to be helpful and explain myself everytime I post. If I do not feel like writing a whole paragraph, I simply write nothing - someone else probably will do so in a better way then I would when not in the mood.
Again, it's nothing personal against you.
... and forgive us our YASDs,
As we forgive our developers,
And lead us not into the Abyss,
But deliver us from Sigmund,
For Thine is the Roguelike,
the Orb and the Victory,
now and forever.
