ajuma,

It's not the number of those who come here looking for hints that disturbs me. It's how many want the answer written down step-by-step, with their hand held all the way, so they don't need to do any thinking for themselves.

I, and I suspect the great majority of people using the forums, first came here looking for hints when I was stuck (in my case it was VV1). However, no-one really expected any more than a hint towards the solution. If the hint wasn't enough, I'd ask for another, but I'd try to solve it on my own or with as few hints as possible. There's no fun in just applying solutions that have been handed to you on a plate, at least for me.
