In general that's a fair observation. However, here we have
a student who clearly is not doing their part of the work,
and is simply posting lots of elementary messages here in
an effort to get us to do their homework, and not putting
in a reasonable amount of work reading the documents.

Note that today, half the active threads in CLA come from
this one student, all asking about various elementary aspects
of what I would guess is a single assignment.

So under the circumstnaces, I find David's reply reasonable
(see my more direct reply earlier in one of the threads).
