If you had added the relevant information to the documentation or wiki, then
there would be no need for anyone to troll for already answered questions. If
the topic is so popular that it gets raised repeatedly, then you should take
additional steps so that the information is quickly and easily accessible.
There's no reason for you to be so crude and disrespectful.
