I may be spinning this thread off in another direction, but my experience has been that _easy_ problems are abundantly answered. Don't get me wrong, the community's willingness to provide help is a good thing. Unfortunately, there's a lot of technical problems floating around that don't get such attention. When they do get attention, answers often begin with "I would think," or some other vagary. I'm not saying I've hit virgin territory all the time. Usually, I find that these questions have been asked more than once and not answered or answered poorly. Just my thoughts.
