I agree 100%! The nerve of these people, they're making the big
bucks, and they're too lazy or cheap to go out and buy a book, or look
at the documentation online. They're too good to be bothered with
that, instead wasting everyone's time by sending a message out to the
list, letting someone else do their work for them. How dare they!
But you're right, not everyone is like that.
