I don't recall who, but somebody just recently posted (or re-posted) these links.

Different level of forum but very relevant. Reading this should be a prerequisite to joining any technical forum.
It's irritating but this 'give me' mentality is pervasive in all industries. "Give me the answer so I don't have to search, work, or (gasp)think."
I've been using this forum and others for many a moon...I found it while searching for a problem with a SLC...but have only resorted to posting a HELP ME once or twice. Because there are so many topics and answers already here.
Anyway...for all those here who dedicate so much time giving truely insightful, experienced, and well-meaning help...your answers have saved my A** many times at 1am.
Thank you
