I believe it's a moderately offensive reply from someone who feels unfairly dismissed, derived from British pop culture. But someone who's actually British could better explain, I'm sure. Personally, I'm not sure how much work someone who appears to have not read the posting guide should really expect the list to do on his behalf. But snarky replies to reasonable requests to read the documentation are easier than doing one's own work.
