I have to agree as well. Most of us do want to help others who are having difficulties. Look at how many of the regular contributors now have a link to Jeff Moden's article in our signature block. It is important to get people to know how to ask a question, to provide as much information as possible to help them.

Some people, however, I think some people have started feeling entitled, that they don't need to provide much information or do much of the work themselves. Hey, I just post my request on SSC, and 5 or 6 gurus provide me with the answer, no problem. But do they understand what we have provided them, usually not.

But, just like officiating soccer, I'll keep helping as long as I a can.
