1. I didn't respond because I didn't know the answer.
2. RTFM.
3. I've seen that question asked and answered so many times I'm sick of seeing it; learn to search before you ask.

All the philosophy about plugins and forums and past members won't change those answers. And these days most of us won't dare to use answers 2 or 3 for fear our response will be misinterpreted as hostile.

That is caused by conditioning from the past years. It seems people get lazier the more time they spend here.

And probably for very good reasons.

IMO plain and simple... many need to learn the definition of the word TACT, in the second sense - http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/tact

I do agree that tact is a fine line that seems to get crossed now and then. You have 2 main types of coders here: those that remember when they were first learning to code, and those who can't remember a time they couldn't code.
