When I respond to a newbie, I often mention the archives after I summarize what I remember about a particular question, but I certainly don't have perfect recall. In any case, a newbie should familiarize himself/herself with the archives. It's not perfect, but it's a very good resource. After perusing the archives he/she certainly are free to ask us questions.
