Well, until you get knowledgeable enough to answer other people's questions.
I only know of few people that don't talk to anyone.  It was a rather simple
question and was not looking to frustrate you.  In my field of work I try to 
help
rather than telling others that the reason they do not know is because they are
lazy.  We all need advisors if we are to progress without repeating the mistakes
or toil of those before us.  Believe me that many in computing are lazy and 
prefer
to automate, which is good ;)
