I totally agree with this (and am now going to go off on a slight tangent). And you can see it in these newsgroups. How many threads have you run across where the individual asking the question could have, or should have, figured out the answer on their own? Questions like "Can I do this.....". Well try it! Can you do it? Or questions like "will this work....". Try it! Does it work? But I still answer these questions anyway since I know that the individual came here for help and I don't mind sharing the information. It just makes me wonder......

Just my 3.14159265 cents worth,
Brian
