Not exactly. It was always advised that one does put fair effort in saving his problem on one's own before asking for help. Signing up for the list is part of the effort. The one who asks for help at lest realizes others will put effort on their side to provide that help. Of course, experts on this list are much more unselfish than people anywhere else. What IS annoying for me is when some place like facebook demands I sign in or create account before showing anything (and leaving their banner taking 30% of area if I don't).
