He was kind.  There is a lesson you need to learn soon.  It is "check the
archives first".  He's helping you learn that lesson.

We don't brag, but we do know a lot.

A repeated question is of no benefit.  It shows that you are too stupid to
search the internet.  What benefit is this entire internet thing if it is
full of STUPID PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO DO NOT USE IT TO SEARCH?

If you don't use the research tools, yes, you are dismissed as a complete
retard.

I'm sorry.  Our perspective is not likely to change, so you may want to
adapt.  Or run some other operating system.  Really.

Actually, you've got it wrong.  We actually get great pleasure out of
telling you people off.  So either adapt by not being a bore and giving
us pleasure at the same time, or please run some other system where they
put up with your idiotic ways.

Really!

OK, so you are stupid.  But we knew that already.  Shall I add some more?
You are a stupid person who believes that not knowing something is OK.

Knowing is not the issue.  Lack of research is the issue.

No, politeness is earned.
