This is the paragraph:

"You can trivially create a simple web server to respond to any request using just the Node HTTP package, as shown below. In fact, this is so "trivial" that this tutorial will not tell you a suggested file name nor how to launch that file.  ;-)"

It's not only mean in that it does not actually tell you the information, it basically implies that *if* you are smart enough, you'll figure it out, so therefore the inverse must also be true. The wink face is a bonus "F.U."

This is a great way to make people feel stupid and give up.

I have edited the section of the document listed above to explicitly step through creating the example. This section still assumes, however, that node has already been installed. I think the page should be reworked to give a shorter introduction and then get into examples. In the meantime, however, I have removed the sarcastic text and replaced it with clear instructions.
