In some circles, like schools, having someone do your homework is called cheating... Of course there are such things as study groups, parents, siblings, friends helping, etc..., so the question becomes, what is the purpose of the [SI-list]. Some may see it as a (bloody?) competitive environment, others may see it as a friendly place where everyone loves and cares for each other and helps with great willingness. I am not sure how others feel about this, but even with my greatest love towards my own son, I do get ticked off if he doesn't show any effort to even try to attack a problem on his own... In this day of age we don't even have to get up from our chair to find answers on the internet to a wide variety of questions problems. So let's not be that surprised when emotions start flaring when someone asks really basic questions that they could have answered on their own with a minimal effort of research. I agree, patience is a virtue, and love endures, etc..., but we shouldn't abuse the love of others either...
