Point taken. But I don't understand why you take this personally? Maybe I should have written "one" instead of "you"?
Anyhow; First; If a programmer suggest to parse an "huge file" via a web based script; that programmer is an idiot and should be fired. Period. Secondly; weather or not you are right, by maintaining the very idea of giving "help" to this person you encourage a very bad solution and at the same time you confuse and make waste of that persons time. Reading that persons questions/ answer it fairly easy to understand that (s)he has less experience with programming. In fact you was not helping this person at all, but rather contributing to create a mess for this person. Following the tread it is quite obviously that the people who answer/"helps" in the thread don't care to investigate what the person who asked the question actually needed What a person might ask for it not always whet that person needs. If you think you don't have this time to investigate what people really need. Try to avoid to answer then, because it wont help them, but rather confuse them. Because why else would one like to answer?
