What's wrong with asking a question? It's not like THEY asked it a million times. Some people prefer to be social and communicate.

If you feel you have answered a question too many times, then don't do it any more, let someone else. Don't ridicule someone for asking a question, it doesn't make you look smart. Quite the opposite actually.

1. And there you are wrong. It has been asked a million times
2. It makes them don't look smart.
3. It IS an issue because it spams the forums.
4. It for sure is just because of laziness and NEVER because of communication needs.
