Oh, I answer plenty of questions, but I tend to be more interested in
answering the questions of people who are (a) capable of demonstrating a
modicum of effort up to this point, and (b) interested in maintaining a
presence in the community in the longer term. I consider this to be in my
self-interest because those people will help to take up some of the slack in
answering questions from the next generation of
newbies-on-their-way-to-greatness.
