Thanks for the condescendent tone in your post. And FYI, remember that
this is not Microsoft Support here: people are helping freely and
because they want to, so they might not have the time to look for
documentation they just don't have at hand, because they never use it.
If you want to provide pointers to better stuff, you're welcome. Your
unpleasant remarks are not.

Go on like this and you'll just discourage everyone to give some of
their time to help people.
