> Why do "experts" need to insult and harangue newbies?

Possibly because it gets frustrating to have to repeat the same answer
over and over and over.  In many of these RTFM cases a simple Google
search would have turned up hundreds of answers to the question.  Do
you answer the question with a copy/paste again?  Or do you tell the
person to do a little thinking for themselves and go look it up?

I'm not saying that the way the newbie question is handled is the
right way, but I certainly do understand where the RTFM replies come
from.
