For the record, I don't consider replies "Read the manual, the answer you want is in there, along with related important information."; or even the occasional "Read the manual." to be rude or lazy.
And, unless a close-enough-for-it-to-be-OK relationship between the two people exists outside of the topic at hand, I do consider "Read the manual, dipstick." to be rude.
With this in mind, I 100% agree with LL.
YMMV
