The treatment isn't too inappropriate. The exact question you posed
could have easily been answered by any number of search patterns in just
about every search engine. Even a lame amount of work on your part
should have uncovered a mailing list of CVS checkins that usually
doesn't goes more than a day between updates. 

BTW, either your DNS wasn't working, or it was a long time since anyone
down your way had pulled that information since a caching name server
will hold that data for at least 1 day from the last successful lookup.
But this also points to the fact that you could have done at least the
minimal effort of having checked to see where the DNS problem was
occurring. I know that can be difficult during a outage of sorts, but
seeings how your message went to the mail server located near asterisk
took some time between hops, you very well could have had problems on
your end. Maybe not all encompassing, but problems non the less.

Don't expect to be treated well when you ask questions that are easily
answered with low effort. For that matter, don't expect to be treated
too well when asking questions that are already answered either. If you
ask questions that enhance the knowledge of all, you will get respected.
No matter what level of expertise a person holds here, we all are here
to learn. The archives are available for your perusal. The wiki is a
great place where Olle has condensed a lot of the information from the
archives into a single place without the extra fluff.
