If someone asks a question on a forum that is answered entirely by people on their own free time and if the question has been answered before elsewhere, then it is entirely appropriate for the questioner to be referred to the previous answer, be it a newsgroup, mailing list, or cheap $10 book. Its not being selfish. If nothing else its a matter of making best use of a limited amount of free time.
You people that want others using their own free time to spoon feed you your answers are a real pain in the ass. Get over yourself.
This idiot (Edward K.) made a total fool of himself on the JBoss forums. He asked stupid questions with an attitude that he deserved an answer. And when called on it he started flaming people on the forums, so they pulled his account. Now he has nothing better to do than go to slashdot and flame JBoss. Boo Hoo.
