Good points, but what I am most curious about is why this phenomenon is so prevalent in the Indian dev community and not as pervasive elsewhere. The ruby community is rife with apt examples. The average Indian developer will pop up and demand answers for a really silly Rails question or something.</blockquote>
<div><br> Yes, this seems like a birth-right for a lot of Indian developers. It is as if they<br>consider the effort to post in a forum to be less than the effort involved in<br>googling and getting the answer directly.<br>
