Peter,

You may have misunderstood me (I did not define correctly whose "internet
manners" I was referring to) — I was referring to the "internet manners" of
those seeking help, that, yes, they may not have adequately researched
things before asking a question, or may not have supplied a reproducible
example, etc., but they don't deserve to be treated disrespectfully — I
think we are agreeing on this…
