Do people get aggravated helping others?

Hello guys, I just thought I would stir the hornets nest so to speak.
I'm constantly getting a$$y responses when I'm asking questions on forums.
Mostly people will take the time to respond to my post but not answer the questions I ask.
For instance if I Asked about what kind of carbs I have they would tell me "look in the service manual" Then i would ask, "do you know where I could find a service manual?" and they would respond something like "they are easy to find" rather than telling me that they dont know, or posting a link to said information.
Maybe I'm the crazy one, I dont know. It seems to me that maybe they are tired of answering the same questions again and again.
First i would like to let you now that before i ask a question related to the forum, i spend a fair amount of time looking to see if it has already been answered previously. i know many people dont do that but,i feel it is a common courtesy.
Also, I'm always glad to help anyone with a problem, even if i have done the same thing before.
for instance, i have spent hours "colorizing" wiring diagrams just to make it easier for other people in the future that need it.
We are a mass collection of knowledge and experience, we are here to help and get help.
Any other thoughts????
Christopher
