As one of the "tedious wisecrackers" I must say that some nodes just cry out for a cheap pot shot. Some so loud that, for example, the first three replies to the referenced post had a very similar theme and arrived in very short order of each other. Note too however that each of the three replies also had a serious component that was intended to help the OP either directly or to elucidate more information so that more help could be given.

Not that it invalidates your comment, but where is the evidence that the node was posted by a newbie btw? Very often newbies are greeted as such with their first question, but annonymonk doesn't get afforded that curtesy because we have no idea if the question is the first or the hundredth.
