Yeah, I'm torn... I tend towards a) because I like helping people,
even if it's just prodding the neophytes to learn how to ask the right
questions and actually get some code written, even if the code is bad
and the programmer needs some good advice... but b) has its appeal
because it sure gets tiresome writing the same thing back to the
people who obviously are expecting someone to just hand them a program
for the asking.
