I agree completely. But the hairs on the back of my neck shake when someone says "I need a log on. Help me." Not even please. I know I shouldn't, but straightaway I think "No - go and make an effort first and then come back when you're stuck." I have learned loads from this forum and am more than happy to pay back where I can but won't do someone else's job for them for free just because they can't be bothered.
