• Now now, there are cases where I can feel the frustration of the OP practically shouting "Just tell me the damned keywords and I'll look it up on my own!" due to some discussions that occur around here. I've jumped in on a number of them where a brief question about some particular technique turns into a request for 18 pieces of samples and documentations, when the person didn't even want to discuss code.

    I'm also guilty of doing the same when I didn't have a fricking clue what they were trying to describe. *shrugs*.

    Sometimes the answer to a very long, arduously typed question is: "You want partitioning. link here: <someurl>". BING! Off they go, running to the heavens happy to know where to go next. It depends. I wouldn't necessarily rip into people who need that though.
