Shoot First and Ask Questions Later

Not trying to offend everyone, because we are all different and all do things in different ways.
I am curious as to what process people go through when they have a problem using CI.

I reply to a lot of posts in here to simple problems that could be solved if people would just:
a) Read the User Guide, or
b) Look at the CI Core code

Now admittedly there are a lot of problems that are not answered in the User Guide and are not easy to find when looking at the Core code. I am happy to help anyone at any time but from now on I will try to point people to the User Guide and to the CI Core Code more often in the answers to their questions.

Personally I have yet to come across a problem in installating or coding in CI that was not able to be solved by either looking the in the User Guide, or looking at the CI code. In fact I find looking at the CI code interesting to see how things have been implemented etc.

So without any rancor or bias I am just interested in which way people like to do things. I have worked with people before who like to ask rather than find out for themselves so I do not mind answer those sorts of questions, mostly because it makes me feel Superior and a bit of a Guru (which of course I am)

If anyone is too offended by my question or takes it in the wrong spirit then let me know, or the moderators and have the post and poll pulled.
