this has probably been posted here before, but based on the recent
threads, it surely bears repeating:

How to Ask Smart Questions:
http://tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

quoting: "...hackers have a reputation for meeting simple questions with
what looks like hostility or arrogance. It sometimes looks like we're
reflexively rude to newbies and the ignorant. But this isn't really
true.

What we are, unapologetically, is hostile to people who seem to be
unwilling to think or do their own homework before asking questions.
People like that are time sinks -- they take without giving back, they
waste time we could have spent on another question more interesting and
another person more worthy of an answer."
