The problem is demonstrated by your choice of words above. The rift
between newbies and those with a little more knowledge is that newbies
"demand" their questions be answered. The knowledge that is being
demanded was not inexpensive for those who know it. We have either spent
many hours learning, or for a few here many hours creating it. You do
not see the same problems between "guru"s because we understand the
value of the information that we are asking for, and how to communicate
better with the person with the knowledge. 

Please understand that many times you will run into answers that are
just one word, or one file name that is intended to point you to how to
figure out your problem on your own. The end result is often that you
gain your knowledge in a similar way that the person offering it had to.
