They're most irritating when the post indicates that the poster has *not* spent any time trying to find an answer before posing the question to the list. > However, if the aim of a curt reply to seemingly stupid questions is > to force the person to think a bit more about what they are asking, > then a simple "give us more details about what you are trying to > build" is generally as effective.
