What's wrong with demonstrating to your would be teacher that you are worthy of being taught?
Either I'll do it for you to prevent you from learning anything or you make an effort. Having programmed for over thirty years, I side with Gunnar.
As a support person and coder I agree with Felix and Gunnar - *some* effort definately needs done or else we'll breed a bunch of clueless helpless leeches and spend our own precious time doing it. In other words its damaging to both OP and the replier.
Rather when some reasonable effort is made by both parties to work on it then everyone benefits..
If they really don't want to learn or use any effort and just want a solution that works then they need to hire someone, thats what my boss does, pays me to code what they need.
I also agree that lazy posters should maybe be handled a bit less harshly lest we become the qmail list ;p
In the case being discussed the code posted after it was recommended to post some example code didn't even compile, which was more than being lazy, it was causing even more work which is really frustrating...
So basically reaosnableness needs displayed by both parties :)
