It's the usual dilemma on mailing-lists/forums:
* Are the respondents supposed to answer the OP question directly without
hindsight (potential XY problem sometimes - http://xyproblem.info/)?
* Or are they expected to put the issue into perspective and challenge it? I
know it can be frustrating because this is not always the answer we as OP want
to read but it can be really instructive as we understand we were on a wrong
track.
There is no dilemma at all: we are not paid help-desk technicians.
Interacting in a polite fashion shouldn't require a paycheck.
