I wouldn't say anything but I've seen several replies like this from you recently and I've bitten my tounge enough.

Although I agree that the question was poorly stated, I really think that your tone is offensive and arrogant. Putting your hands on your hips and wagging your finger is no more polite than a poorly asked question and no less a waste to read.

You are free to skip questions which you can't interpret, you can't answer, or which you feel aren't asked skillfully enough.

Hubris might be good in the context of being a programmer but it isn't a desirable personality trait. Some, such as the ever quotable MJD¹, excel at what they do to the degree that they can get away with it. I don't think that you have earned that dubious right.

¹ Although I've gotten a chuckle from Dominus's rants at the clueless too, I do think it is somewhat of a shame he has managed to set such an example. At least he keeps a sense of humor about it though (mostly.)
