True, but, as I already stated in another reaction, a link is oftentimes superior to a repetition of a 'lesson'. The link ideally brings the one who needs a solution to a thread that is complete and finished, that contains the wisdom of more than one knowledgable person, and that can be regarded as containing an agreed on solution.

So, if a link to a superior thread actually is available, then it's not only time-saving, but also better than writing a 'lesson'.
