So?

I don't expect that. That's why a wrote what to search for in the 
man page. On google, "mount a ISO file Linux" has the command
in the *FIRST* hit. Proof: http://www.google.de/search?hl=de&q=mount+a+ISO+file+linux&btnG=Suche&meta=
(Okay, that page is in German. The 3rd hit is in english. Or
use http://www.google.com/search?as_q=mount+a+ISO+file+linux&num=10&hl=de&btnG=Google-Suche&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&lr=lang_en&as_ft=i&as_filetype=&as_qdr=all&as_occt=any&as_dt=i&as_sitesearch=&as_rights=&safe=images
where the first hit also gives the command.)

Now, where did this require knowing anything about "loop"?

If there's anything "insulting" going on here, it is that people like
you and of course Michael try to make up things and make me
look bad. Not that I'd care much, though...
