I think you are right , but I don't think it's a problem. It seems to me that most answers are just snippets of previously written code, slightly modified to suit the particular situation. The top monks here can just whip out code right off the top of their heads, but most of us are just "code librarians" who know enough to modify, then cut'n'paste previously written code. I don't think I've seen more than 1 or 2 replies where someone has written a complete app from scratch to answer some anonymous request. I say let people "ask for whatever they want" but take what they are given without whining about it.
