When a user asks a question which has been answered quite a few
times on SO and on other sites without any research efforts, why
do people keep answering the question? Isn't it a bad approach
to answer and get the reputation? I would personally not answer
such a question and will help the peer by writing something in
the comments which would guide him in the right direction.  I am
attaching an image of the question from SO Please don't take it
personally (if you're the asker or an answerer) as my question's
purpose is fair and not to point out someone.  Question: Show or
hide a field using jQuery or Ajax  share|improve this question
You could just link to the question instead of the screenshot.
