When you have more experience helping people on a frequent basis,
perhaps you will revise this statement. Try helping folks out every day
on IRC for 2 or 3 years and tell me what you think THEN. Alternative:
answer every question asked on freebsd-questions for same period.
You'll see the point once you accomplish this.

There is absolutely no reason why people should lift a finger to help
somebody else when said question/inquiry has been documented somewhere
on the web or in the manpages, or someplace else.
It's all about the old quote, "Catch a man a fish and you feed him for a
day. Teach a man how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."
I believe Mike Smith has an abortion of this aphorism in his sig. ;-)
