For what it's worth. I am with you. It doesn't matter how long you have
been here and how many dumb questions you have seen posted and had to
answer. Acting like a dweeb and ticking people off will achieve nothing.
If you want to help, then help. If you don't -- then move on. There will
always be another person who does not RTFM's and post dumb questions.
It's part of life.
