Who exactly do you think you are? Who are you to decide what is stupid and
what is not?
It is very easy to miss a small but crucial detail in a manual; even more so
if - as a newbie - a person doesn't necessarily know what they're looking
for....Your failure to understand this is more a reflection on you than it
is on them and I say this safe in the knowledge that I spend a great deal of
time scanning through product manuals and datasheets.

As a long time list-lurker and only occasional poster, I have to say that -
having observed your behaviour - I find your attitude to be unprofessional.
Your lack of good manners and understanding of human nature no doubt
_causes_ more problems than you alledge it "solves". Furthermore, you appear
to have delusions of grandeur and your behaviour can only be described as
"childish" - pure and simple. Talent (real or perceived) is not a free
license to obnoxious behaviour.

This is a community, designed to share information and members with
knowledge above and beyond that of "newbies" elect to share their
experiences as and when they can. In almost _all_ cases (but yours), they do
so with a modicum of dignity, respect and friendliness. As another - more
senior - poster put it "these are the things that most of us learn in
kindergarten".

Grow up. For your own sake if no one elses. And if you can't or wont grow up
then shut up.
