The frustration stems from people being lazy and not:

1. Reading the manual

2. Searching the forum for answers

3. Reading and following the forum rules

Newbie or not, there is no reason to post a question that has been covered in the manual or answered 100 times in the forum.

If my answers seem 'short' it is not because I am being callous, it is because I simply want to provide an answer/link quickly. I don't have time to write a nice little letter to everyone who posts a question :)
