You have to keep in mind that support from lists like this one are
voluntary in nature. So, it only seems decent to try to get the
etiquette of the list, and (although it does not apply here) research a
problem before posting questions to the list.

IMHO calling Linux community members a "rude flaming bunch" is highly
inappropriate. The community built a free operating system, and provides
free support. If people need hand holding or extensive support they can
get a support contract from a prominent North-American Linux vendor, or
one of the other venues that provides Linux support.
