It seems you are rather mistaken about Usenet NGs, Norman.

This is not a helpdesk, though helping an OP is not forbidden or
anything and could even be quite a nice move, instead this group is a
discussion group, where the discussions form a hopefully valuable source
of learning for others, like newbees, for now and some years to come. 

So irrespecably if the OP "obviously already knew" in the responder's
view, responses with errors in examples should not be made or duefully 
corrected, [OR the responder could choose to answer the OP by private
mail].
