Fix your logic module. Like, think about relevance of:
"I know so much, hence I *have to* help people."

Read http://www.holland-consulting.net/tech/ocep/#unfriendly before
answering it to yourself.

Or to quote a channel-FAQ[0] (where a lot of annoyance appears):
   Q: You are a bunch of arrogant assholes sitting on your very knowledge!
          A: No one said you had to join #unix.
          By the way, good luck with your next visit at your doctor (who does not help
          you for free either).

Your, or better "their", mistake is NOT TO READ. Pardon me, it's
actually NOT TO THINK. Thoughts like "Hm, I am new to this, but most
obviously I am not the first one being new to this. So most probably
this question was already being said, let's see if I can find it."

But no, being lazy is nice, and so they "just ask".

You are all not in the position to demand anything anyway. Go away.

If people actually would dig reading, this link is like really helpful
to get answers:

Yeah rite. And you tend to support people who actually lack it.
