That simply amazes me and never even entered my thought process. It's difficult to imagine how a question could even be formed without writing code that runs into a problem (to launch the search for a resolution)...

It amazes me too, but, trust me - I have really seen it. It was that kind of post that prompted Andy's blog article. That kind of post and people sending us questions via private e-mail and getting angry and calling us dirty names when we refused to answer and told them to post their questions on one of the many public fora available for this purpose.
