You could just as easily provided the link yourself instead of directing a complaint at me:

Yeesh that's a pretty out of scope reply considering the polite tone of the original request don't you think? I tend to agree, for what it's worth, and if someone's suggesting that, they may not have a link on how to do that. I personally don't take very kindly to that sort of "Just google it" responses anyway. If you didn't want to provide help, you could have left it for others who did want to.

Sorry about this, it just felt rather rude and dismissive when you weren't being attacked in the first place and brought up some bad memories of "technical forums" that always seem to have a few people genuinely upset at the thought of answering a sincere question. It's right up there with the sort of person who on getting a technical question instead suggests that the person is wrong for wanting to do X in the first place. For example: "What's the best defragmenting strategy?" "Just buy an SSD."
