Sometimes the best help you can get is a slap and an explanation why
you got it. You might not like it at the moment, but it can help you
get the kind of attention you desire later. If you don't stop
listening.
Almost never I believe (although I'm not at all clear what you mean by

If you find an answer ambiguous ask for clarification! It's not
always possible assess the knowledge of the other party correctly and
be exactly as detailed as necessary without wasting the time and
boring the recipient with an overdetailed response.
Precisely. So it's entirely possible, for instance, that a poster may
never have even heard of the Perl FAQ, so a curt line of sarcasm asking
why he didn't look there first is useless.
And I don't see what has got the ad to do with things. Except the fact

Hey, if Randal can get upset by daft disclaimers, why can't someone else
take offence at a long advertising sig?
