If a person can take the time to copy and paste the syntax and then write up an email, USUALLY (with exception of spammers) you should take the time to at least reply or at least not insult the person. After all, the Open Source community is what makes Linux and all of it's programs tick. If we loose the strong community, because noone can ask questions, or they feel too timid to file a bug report, it will fail. That is why Windows is failing. We do not want to take that route.

Seconded.  Telling someone that his question is dumb is just rude.  If 
you don't like the question, don't answer it.
