You show your work because that's what professionals do. Why should I assume that you've read the same KB articles specifically that I have or have tried the same search strings as I have? Since you want information from others, the onus is on you to provide sufficient data so as to retrieve the information you are requesting. Your inability to properly phrase a technical question is not a failing on my fault (although like Tenner's problem with the same skill, blame is most likely on public school education and/or too many lead paint chips as a child).
