Yes, a degree of discretion is needed when replying to people, but we also have to be patient and understanding. As far as what he has said, it sounds like he is giving some attempts at this path, which is in some ways better than other people.
I agree that he needs to make a better effort at searching for answers independently, although not every one of his questions was answered in an obvious manner prior to him asking.
Everyone is at different levels in all areas, including in regards to intellectual or studying capabilities. It would be too harsh to deem him as "unsalvageable" due to this, as we all exist on the path of transformation and growth. Check with him in about 2 years, and then you would be in a better place to make such a definite judgement.
You can motivate people to do better, but be careful about applying damning judgements, as this can become too destructive. If you are personally burnt out by his questions, then it is better to take a break from answering, or cut back on the length of replies.
While codeine's behavior is in the public, others have made worse errors in private. In reality, asking lots of questions is not that bad, compared to other things I have seen people do. As long as people are making some efforts with their meditations, we can afford them some time. The way people act cannot be totally changed overnight, so we have to work around this fact.
