Keep in mind this xkcd comic: xkcd.com/386 and don't become that person. It is not our responsibility to rescue every helpless techy who might have a job they're aren't qualified for or don't care about. Offer help, but don't let it drive you to frustration.

"Except when my question has already been asked and answered by someone else, of course." Isn't that the point - to collect good questions and answers to benefit the futures askers?

Did I say it favored the askers? I said the system is pretty pointless without questions & ask-ers.
