I'm not trying to be a dick

You are succeeding without trying. You're essentially complaining some free advice does not fit your exact expectations and specifications. Which is fine, lots of free advice doesn't. Trying to pass this complaint off as some kind of favour to the person giving you free advice, though, is... less than great.

No, tptacek just doesn't give proper answers here because he thinks he can afford it with his status here. He could have just left links to further links/literature.

There's nothing 'improper' about the answers, you just don't like how they're presented. As I said, that's a totally fair objection. It's just that nobody owes you free advice in the precise format you find acceptable. That's usually a feature of paid advice.
