The attitude differs from person to person (IMHO you get the same attitude with windows as often as with linux), but the reasons for RTFM cry are these:

1. Every time you actualy have to reinvent the wheel you want everyone else to do the same, to gain the experience you have gained (you can give them the fish or you can teach them to fish). The major frustration is that a good learner is not allways a good teacher.

2. You could fix the problem if you had the time to do this - there are no uniform ways of fixing thing's and most users (no matter if it's linux or windows) just can't explain their problem ... so it's whether go and fix it for him (and do this every time he encounters a new problem ) or make him learn it on his own so next time he'll fix it by himself.

It's not the problem of linux users if you want to get the answer from someone who's almost certainly busy with his job you must learn to ask. I have had a hard time learning this myself but now i am allways getting the answers i want whether it's usenet or irc.
