You clearly misunderstand my remarks. There are people who are happy to be helpful, and ignoring the argument of whether or not this question was appropriate here or not, a question that is posed before one even looks at the documentation is disrespectful to the people who you expect to put time into your answer. Questions like "I read the docs but I don't understand," are going to be met with much more openness than "I don't read docs, just give me the answer." We work very hard at what we do, all of us. Perhaps you have "other ways of learning" but "I don't read docs" is the same as saying "Screw you, just tell me how to do it." Someone put a whole lot of time into those docs in hopes of avoiding having to ask questions. And if you'd rather have examples, a LOT of modules out there integrate with Views. There are lots of examples. It is incumbent upon you to seek them out.
