In other lists I'm on people are complaining that people join to ask questions the answers to which are in the documentation - quite clearly - and also in many articles on the 'Net, but fail to bother and use the list as a crutch.

I'm convinced that Microsoft has "dumbed down" many users, but that's for another thread on another forum.
