Well, the point is you did bother replying to his email, just not in a
helpful way.

I suspect you haven't been around this list for very long. Brian is
very persistent at his attempts to learn but, as a consequence, often
asks the same questions over and over again - even when given the
answer. Charles, Norman and others have helped Brian many, many times
in the past.
I think Charles was trying to point out that if he learned to use the
online help (and the archives as well) he'd be in a better position
to help himself learn. In that way the frustration of both Brian, and
those trying to assist, would be minimised.
Maybe you don't want to help him, well, fine. But then let
someone else do it and don't go patronizing someone who asks a stupid
question.

I genuinely applaud you for helping. Perhaps you can succeed where
others have failed.
cheers
