I considered replying...decided not to...could have been found by using Google for five seconds

Don't you think it's beneficial to have it appear in SuperSearch now also, as a result of this thread?

Isn't that the point of this site? If answering simple questions is beneith you then why respond at all?

Let us consider for a moment that this was not an attempt to do someone's homework for them, but rather to point them towards the resources they need to do it themselves. How is such a response not appropriate?

If someone says to you "How do I get to the library from here, I have a term paper due?" does that imply that they want you to do the paper for them? Do you refuse to give them directions?

I suppose it could be argued that in doing so you're forcing them to be more self-reliant. However IMHO such 'tough love' is the role of a parent/mentor, not that of a community promoting knowledge.



Wait! This isn't a Parachute, this is a Backpack!
