There's a difference between someone saying "I wonder where I can find 
'x'" and saying "this is really cool" and having people answer asking 
questions.

But I note that each time you've brought this topic up, you've gotten 
angry in your replies (maybe that's a perceptual thing and you didn't 
mean it) - but since you're the one who brought the topic up and seemed 
to have some knowledge about it, asking is a logical flow of conversation.

So getting pissed off that people are asking you questions when you've 
clearly invested some time in it would seem unproductive.  If you feel 
you don't have the knowledge, just say "I don't know, the website might 
answer that question better than I could" and provide a pointer instead 
of saying "dammit, what am I, the friggin' oracle?  Go do your own damned 
research !@!@#!!%!$!@#!@#" (which is how you're coming across).
