I have always attempted the very opposite. I'm a little shocked, and will attempt to reassess with fresh eyes before posting in the future. I can only hope you may have confused me with someone else. I will occasionally make a terse response to a problem, asking no more than "have you checked X? what does /var/log/Y say? please post the output of `exec-Z`". In my experience, the right questions (i.e. the right choice of X, Y & Z) will most usually lead the poster to the solution. Stroller.
