I think this was a wholly unnecessary intervention and all it does is upset people who are already interested in books. That aspect should be encouraged and not denigrated.

OP is more than welcome to edit their post to be about books and not about learning how to make electrical diagrams. This is a books subreddit not an amateur electrician subreddit.

Such an attitude is both haughty and compassionless. As far as l know no one actually complained about this post and people were actively and positively replying to this post. We should all be encouraging new readers and new posters because helping to develop a love of reading is priceless.
