I think you might be missing a big part of the issue. No one has a problem with people asking questions.
However, newcomers have a tendency to ask the same question again and again, week after week. There are stickies at the top of the forum specifically marked for newcomers that will answer most if not all the questions they ask.
What if they ignore the stickies? Well, there are usually threads from others who ignore them and asked the same questions just a week earlier.
These repetitive questions waste time and cost Igor money. When you look at it that way, it's easy to see why some people get worked up about newcomers posting the same questions again and again.
And who is FedEx, anyway?
