'Read the API' is not an insult. 'Keep your worthless comments to yourself' is an insult.
Also, on numerous occasions people have made assumptions about what I did or did not do before posting a question to the group. I usually spend a couple of hours trying to diagnose the problem myself before posting it to the group. However, the solution is sometimes not evident. Does this give other members the right to degrade me?
Forget about 'usually'. Did you try *this* time? What did you try? How did it fail? None of this information was evident in your question. I suggest you read 'How to ask questions the smart way' as well: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html -- Michael Bernstein
