No, expecting spoon-feeding is the socially unacceptable behavior: You
effectively say that you value your own time to solve a problem by not reading
the documentation higher than the time of others reading this newsgroup for
potentially interesting information and getting them to do the tedious task of
explaing what has already been written somewhere to you for your sole benefit.
:-)

Now, this may be ok in p.newusers, but you didn't post there, did you? ;-)

Yes, that is completely odd and I have no idea why this is in the documentation.
