I agree that this must get pretty annoying after a while. It reminds me of a similar situation which makes my blood boil everytime it comes up:
Ever asked a group of programmers "Hey, anybody happen to know how to do this or that random task in [insert language here]?".
There's bound to be at least ten people who won't know anything about the programming language, didn't read the question, can't really give you an anwser at all, but who still complain loudly about your choice of programming language. It annoys me to no end.
The Perl guy will attack your choice for PHP, the PHP guy will attack your choice of PERL, the Python guy attacks all other language choices, the Java guy doesn't even seem to know other language exist, etc. If you don't have the anwser, then keep quiet please as I don't have the time to discuss religions.
