exactly. If someone read the docs and still has a question - that is ok. |
| 32 |
Googled and did not find what he looked for. Happens all the time. Nothing |
| 33 |
wrong with asking a question. Nobody expects somebody to understand everything |
| 34 |
or find every answer in the manuals. But somebody who didn't even try to find |
| 35 |
the answer for himself - that person does not deserve help. Only pity that he |
| 36 |
is such an idiot. |
