The idea of being on a list, and HELPING others is to contribute...
When you ask a question someone contributes to help you, when you answer you
help them.
If you think they are stupid, and should RTFM then don't help, let someone
else do that rather then bring the negative of a newbie getting slammed and
feeling like they should never submit a question.
Additionally ( not in the case of qpopper for me ) there are many times I
have read manuals/docs/help files/how-to's and no matter what I do I can't
figure it out....sometimes it's a stupid thing, and others I stomp the
panel, either way I needed help at whatever technical level (
simple/complicated ) and posting has resulted in me being able to complete
the project.
Bottom line is, we all need help at one time or another and we don't want to
be told we are idiots when we do ask for it....yes some people never crack
open the readme it's true....but I give them the benefit of the doubt....
