Sorry batmang, but you are VASTLY closer to the wrong side of the moral grey area here.
Encouraging people to help themselves is #1, even if the encouragement is a bit cold, and far more valuable than spoon feeding. Que the "teach a man to fish" proverb.
Once people have shown that they have done some level of research on their own, I am more than willing to help.
And I'm not trying to pimp my credentials here, but I am a super moderator on my350z which has 90k members, and I'm a well-liked and respected moderator. ("research first, ask questions later" is the policy that's not only enforced on my350z, but is also explicitly stated in the terms of use)
When you get new enthusiastic members every day asking the first question that pops into their head, but they have not done the minimum amount of research, that is a HUGE insult to the people who have spent HOURS of their time making VALUABLE posts on the forum that are easily searchable using forum tools such as the SEARCH function, not to mention google, newegg, etc.
It's like saying "Hey, you guys, who have spent hours helping people like me... can you spoon feed me everything from A through Z? Plz? PLZ??? PLEASZEE?"
It's just wrong. Look at this guy's post history and tell me you disagree. You, as a senior member of this site, should help people help themselves.

Are you out to protect your "intellectual property" or something? Give me a break man, help the guy out. If you don't want to, then say nothing.
