Not every n00b starts threads without searching.
Very try, but in my years in the computer industry, you have to realize that too many people don't know how to conduct a proper search. Well, and many are just lazy... Still, ignoring them works well, or kindly pointing them to the information they are seeking does to. Often they don't return, but some I'm sure stay and join. Flaming them doesn't help them, or the flamer. Common sense isn't widespread across the species, sadly...
I remember back in the beginning when I was a 'n00b', looking for software updates and being told 'it's available via anonymous FTP'. I knew what FTP was, but not 'anonymous ftp'. I asked, and was immediately descended on and ripped to shreds by several people, one declaring that I 'should just stop trying to use a computer and stick to jerking off'. Yeah, very creative, and extra helpful... Someone finally explained it to me, and roasted the roasters in the process. I try to never forget that experience. But I see your point to that too many people don't RTFM or exploit common tools to find answers. Those types will never disappear.
I'd also like to suggest a change in your sig:
trag·e·dy /ˈtrajidē/ Noun - 1. An event politicians from both parties exploit to reduce liberty and grow government. See 'Transportation Security Administration', and 'Department of Homeland Security'.
