Now on topic, while there are many threads that are unnecessary, asking questions for the 1 millionth time, I would have to say that there are sooooooo many threads COMPLAINING about the stupid question threads aswell, I mean where is the line? These clutter up the forums almost as much.
Like you said there will always be lazy fuckers who wanna get a free ride, but thats normal, just don't reply. But I mean, seeing as this site is open to every man and his dog, you are gonna get all sorts in here. I still manage to enjoy the site, though.
Also, because we are growing something that is so variable, each and every one is going to have a varied answer, so when I research something it can be quite unnerving because I will get so many different answers, and not know which I should adhere to. I think that that is probably why people ask so many (to some) obvious questions.
I agree though, research is key, like with anything. But unfrotunately we can't control people and force them to research, we can control ourselves though and not reply to stupid questions!
Peace
