No problem, it's not about you specifically, it's just that some of us
fans of % formatting can be a tad sensitive about it, especially since
the idea that it has been deprecated (or soon will be deprecated, or one
day will be deprecated, and therefore code using it is bad) is relatively
widespread on the Internet.
Glad to have you back here!
