Although I agree with the sentiments that you give above, I've come to 
the conclusion that giving him anything is a complete waste of our time. 
  Why answer his questions if he then states he doesn't want to do it 
that way?  Why refer him to documentation if he refuses to read it?
I don't like saying this but I believe the only way to get any peace 
around here is to ignore him completely.  Surely by now he's way past 
his "three strikes and you're out" limit?
