What to Ask and How to Answer Questions

I also believe that we need to convince people to learn something new
instead of having someone do it for them, actually *try* something instead
of saying "Can I ....?", to elevate themselves. Yes, computers have gotten
to be more user-friendly but instead of encouraging people to pick up new
skills, some people have grown lazy and expect others, who generally learned
things the old-fashion way (trial and error), to do it for them or tell them
how to do something step by step.
My personal policy is that I will teach someone how to do something. I'll
even show them two or three times but if I even get an inkling that they are
just letting me do their work, I stop. I have enough of my own work to do
without doing someone else's.
I agree with all that!
