Dear J, Unfortunately I'm feeling too lazy to bother responding in full.
Thanks for your helpful diatribe.

This means they will continue to do the same thing in the future and people like you will take an hour of their lives to answer someone's question who was too lazy to take 10 minutes to look it up themselves. Whether you are aware of it or not they benefit and you lose. If this person actually made an attempt to look up a solution they not only would learn the process themselves making it faster the next time, but they will also learn many other things in their search for an answer. I've seen many people like this send the same question to up to 10 different lists because they know the more people they contact the higher the likelihood of the response. Like my learning theory professor tells his classes: "I will not reinforce laziness." I don't think many of the knowledgeable people on this list should support this behavior either.
