>Right. But my not helping them will NOT stop them from getting help. It just stops them from getting help from me.

Why is the point here escaping everyone? I love all of these astute observations of the blatently obvious that people keep posting. I could give a shit if someone else helps them. That is not my problem, nor yours (unless you are the one giving them help). You make it sound like "they will get help no matter what, so I might as well just help them". That seems to fall right in line with the general passafist attitude lately of the entire UT of "just deal with it". It's this same attitude that degrades the quality of posts, of the US education system, the US in general, and I'm sure other parts of the world and so on.
