Stan, I agree on this.
I consider it disrespectful if someone asks me without having made any
effort to solve the question by some quick search or so. And I also tell
people this. Why? Cause I do not like being treated like a unpaid
community Debian / Linux support slave. (Yes, sometimes I felt like that,
but then thats also my own problem, cause if I do not like to answer, I
can simply ignore the question and be done with it.)
But all this said:
I think there are less hurtful ways to express that.
And here, a short answer with a clear request to do some own research next
time, takes less time than a personal attack and dealing with its
consequences.
When I learned one thing in mailing lists, its that I better stay away
from any sort of attacking a person. I try look at the behavior, not the
person. Cause I would not like to be attacked either.
Ciao,
