exactly. If someone read the docs and still has a question - that is ok. Googled and did not find what he looked for. Happens all the time. Nothing wrong with asking a question. Nobody expects somebody to understand everything or find every answer in the manuals. But somebody who didn't even try to find the answer for himself - that person does not deserve help. Only pity that he is such an idiot.
