No one has been rude. They have just provided useful information. Information that any first year UNIX user should know. Many peoples gaps in UNIX knowledge, I believe, would be filled by just picking up a book on basic UNIX. There are many. Instead people just surf the internet and read FAQs and HOWTOs. Dabble here, dabble there. Never really getting a good foundation of UNIX basics. Then they end up on mailing lists asking questions that they could have answered themselves very easily. This tends to annoy people who do know the answers, because they worked hard to obtain their knowledge. Sorry if I offended anyone. :)
