The lack of knowledge is fine; not everyone is an expert. The
laziness and sloth, however, isn't fine. I can't speak for
others, but my specific issue with the whole entitlement
thing is the fact that some people are just plain lazy and
refuse to lift a finger or exert any effort to help themselves
and yet expect others to do so for them. Sorry, I don't play
that game. Had he shown *any* effort to resolve these issues
on his own most people would have gone the extra mile to help
him.

I had already planned on bit-bucketing him until I saw his
latest reply and it rankled to the point that I needed to
say something, however out of place and unwanted my comments
might have been.
