editHello there, 78.149.174.141
I came across your question "Screensaver or program showing progression of night and day across the atlas". The responses you got could possibly have been a bit more helpful and less terse. I assume good faith (AGF as we call it here) on the part of the responders, it may have been late at night in their time zones and they were tired and a bit 'bitey'. Keep in mind that we are all doing this voluntarily!
I hope you will not take it personally and continue to ask 'good faith' questions, perhaps a bit more specific for our more literally minded reference deskers. ;-) --220.101.28.25 (talk) 19:04, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
