Wow. That's incredibly rude and arrogant.

I sure don't see it that way. I ask a simple question,
and
people argue on and on endlessly about whether or not the
question is appropriate? Now that seems rude to me.

If you don't like how USENET works, go elsewhere. But it's
rude and
arrogant to ask everyone else to do things they way you
like just
because it makes things easier for you. There is a give
and take on
USENET, and you are demanding that everyone conform their
actions to
facilitate your taking and minimize anything they might
get out of it.

Please stop being an ass and try to participate in the
give and take
of USENET. It is not your private store of helpful
experts.

Why is there a lack of professionalism here, and not
elsewhere? (there must be some reason).

I'd call it a lack of tolerance for BS, again welcome to usenet! If
you find it too offensive, then _pay_ someone for advice.
