He's either a babbling twit unable to do a simple Google search or
a troll.

And, if you had bothered to read all my post, I gave links where all
his questions and more were answered.

It took me all of about a minute to find all those pages.

He only sounds like a babbling troll because he doesn't know as much
as you. A lot of people come in knowing a little bit of something, but
they have some holes and/or misconceptions in their knowledge that
they need filled in. Some people come in thinking one thing is similar
to something else they understand, but it's a misconception, and it
has to be explained why it's misconception to them.

And since when is Usenet simply the proxy for Wikipedia and the Web in
general? Nobody wants to discuss anything anymore, just send them to a
webpage? Much of the stuff in Wikipedia is becoming textbook-like in
appearance, these days. Instead of cramming through a whole Wikipedia
article, it's often much quicker to just ask a specific question and
get it answered quickly.

Just see how much more value he got out of Immortalist's reply to him
than yours. Immortalist basically linked to a bunch of Wikipedia pages
too, but he also took the time to explain stuff in his own words. Now
Sanny can go read the Wikipedia articles knowing a bit more about the
background from it. If you don't have the patience to be a teacher,
then don't bother replying to posts that require you to suffer from
fools.
