The curt response to our apprentices is not the path of wisdom

Calm down, friend..  You *did* ask. :-)

...the perils of tossing a rhetorical question at the masses...

Although while I am proud to say I actually did google verp, I am pleased to
see the explanations that have been offered by some of the list members in
response to that rhetoric.  As a whole, LUG (not just triLUG; I am speaking
generally) members have a bit of a stigma for impatiently telling young'uns
to figure it out themselves..  While I certainly am a RTFM advocate, I
always appreciate when the experts deign to explain simple things to newbies
who for whatever reason just aren't getting it (as I have been in that
position more than once).

Cheers to all.
