In general I do that. But Chip had asked four questions already,
and received three answers from Jonathan, and was still quite
lost.
Then I replied, and his next email ended with "Thanks for pointing
me to the correct reference, even though you didn't need to be so
bloody rude about it."
Would people rather get "rude + accurate" responses, or "warm +
fuzzy + not solving the problem" responses? I personally would
*much* rather get the former.

No, it doesn't make sense. That's why I take every opportunity to
suggest the 2.11 docs on the mailist, and can't wait for 2.12 to
be out.
If the initial response to his question was "read the 2.11 docs
about transposition and file syntax", the whole discussion would
have been over in 2 or 3 emails.
