As I snipped off a Usenet group once:

    Get real!  This is a discussion group, not a helpdesk.  You post
    something -- we discuss its implications.  If the discussion happens
    to answer a question you've asked, that's incidental.  If you post a
    question that implies that you've got a problem finding answers to
    trivial questions in the manual, then it is perfectly reasonable for
    us to discuss how to do that.
