I'm not rude and not insulting anyone. Just answered to that post
which actually is what it is. You can't name it insulting because that
post was not yours and you barely read it.

I've already said about that argument of your expert and will repeat
it again if you maybe missed it. There is no concern about saving
vertical space with toolbars because they may be turned off or
vertically aligned. You and your experts should know about that.
