It seems to me that a simple "what version do you have?" response is not
asking too much.

To your comment: "...which you decided wasn't important enough to
share." That's very nice. Thanks, Brian, for making a rookie feel
welcomed. And thanks, also, for taking just enough of your time to
drip sarcasm.

Yeah, well, when you take your care to a mechanic, even when you were a
newbie driver, did you hand him (her?) the keys and say, "It's broken. Fix
it," and then just walk away? No. You knew even then that you had to give
as accurate a description of the symptons as you could. In fact, one of the
first things you probably told the mechanic was the model and year of your
car. Why would it be any different here?
