I really *hate* these sorts of non-answers. They don't help at all with
the immediate problem and only really serve to annoy the person asking the
question. Yes, I realise that in this case the questioner ended up taking
this person's advice, but there may well have been plenty of cases where
they might not have been able to. Questions like this don't usually outline
the rationale for why they are using the software/hardware/whatever they're
asking about, and neither should they have to.
Yes you do. If you are saying I have a problem with something, and want
others to help you, you should provide as much as possible information about
the issue. Hetz imho gave only limited information about the problem, and
where he think that it might be. That's does not helping us to help him, so
usually when someone lack of proper information about the whole thing, get
an answer as detailed as they provided.
Two wrongs don't make a right. If you want to be helpful and the person
hasn't provided enough information, either ask for it or, if you feel they
should know better, don't bother responding at all.
