I think this is actually a separate-but-equally-problematic class of questions ("Suggest a bunch of products that do [X] for me") -- those can indeed be good questions, though I think it's better if we send these users away too ("Go search Google for useful search phrase, look at the results, and come back if you have questions of the form I'm looking at doing [X] and trying to decide between products [Y] and [Z] - what are some advantages/disadvantages of each?") -- these are more ignorance than laziness and that's a more tolerable excuse :)
