Have you ever thought that those that ask questions here might not be able
to find the answer on their own as easily as you think they could. Yes,
research probably would resolve the issue, but there are many times where
someone just doesn't have the time to waste doing the research, hence they
ask the question here and hope someone has run into it before and can offer
a quick solution. In this case, they post the message (total of 1 minute
max), go about their normal business, check back once in awhile (10 seconds
max), after someone responds with a solution, they implement the solution
and either thank the person or not (1-2 minutes). So then they've spent 2-3
minutes on the problem and probably recieved a response from someone that
had this issue before and was able to figure it out (possibly someone that
was able to spend the time researching it).

So, are you saying that no one should post without first researching the
problem on their own first? If that's the case, let's just patition
Microsoft to close down these forums as asking peers for help is no longer
acceptable.
