Naveen,

I don't think anyone here has said it was beneath their dignity to answer. And the occasional question posted without having first tried to find it in the manuals here is usually answered, and no one is abused.

This is a particular case -- where the poster was bombarding the list with questions that could have easily been answered by a few moments of reading the manuals.

While we are here to learn and help, we also have jobs of our own. It's not our job to do someone else's for them.
