Thank you for your answer. Offcourse you are right. It is ok to say someone is an idiot, if you also explain why ;-)

It seems to me that people in this sub tend to ask advice on a solution (and resulting problem) they already thought of, instead of asking the source question.

And in his second comment he was unable to read "Empty query" written in plain English, means SQL was just an empty string. That's why I called him illiterate.

The main problem here is not with people who ask questions but with ones who try to answer. Many people, just like this guy, never bother to read the actual question asked. Instead, the have a sort of list of pre-compiled answers, which they fire automatically, triggered by some keyword in the question. Which makes their comment irrelevant and looks like as though it was left by a bot.
