Yes, we all need help sometimes, but it's a question of attitude isn't it. When the first responder politely asked if he'd done a search AND provided a link to a suitable web page, he comes back with "Stop - just give an answer". I'm sure I'm not the only who found this a little rude.
I'll take the know-it-all reference in your rejoiner as a compliment, but I take exception to the term obnoxious. My response was actually quite restrained as I said his question was "mildly annoying" whereas it (or more precisely his attitude) are actually F***ing irritating. We don't need mouthy 14 year olds who are too lazy to search for answers demanding help on these forums and if no-one points out that he SHOULD search first and SHOULD show a little more courtesy towards the people of whom he is asking help, then he won't know any different.
Will he?
