That is an unhelpful response. You aren't giving anything to help the
original poster improve their question. Moreover, it is rude and
dismissive, which doesn't belong in this forum.

The “how to ask question the smart way” essay is not a blunt instrument
for beating people over the head with, and it is brutish to use it that
way. Instead, please point out *how* the original poster's question can
be improved.
