I think you're being sarcastic there. I don't think it would be appropriate to do that. After all, asking questions is the number one pursuit of science, and is what draws a great many people over here. Naturally, there is a risk that people will use this site to cheat on their homework, but I try not to think too much about that. After all, why assume the worst of someone you've just met for the very first time? There are lots of reasons people might ask a collection of questions.<br /><br />I also would not want to discourage people from seeking help with homework, although I'd encourage any students to let folks know if you're looking for homework help. If you tell people that you want help with your homework, you'll probably get a more in-depth response. Folks may even share their own stories of school, tips for how to do good research, and explanations to help you get something that you're just not understanding yet from the teacher. I know I've learned a lot here, and I'm not about to stop asking questions myself. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /><br /><br />Folks, I realize it's a bit irritating to be used by a potential homework cheater. But you don't know this person is a homework cheater. It's worth making a brief post to the effect of what silyene and others so eloquently stated, that it's basically rude to take advantage of people and won't help you out at all in school (especially if your teacher happens to be an Uplink member -- hey, it could happen!). But let's avoid belaboring the point, because just as it's rude to take advantage of the generosity of Uplink members, it's also rude to spurn someone who has just built up a bunch of questions on the fear that they might be homework cheaters.<br /><br />Besides, even if they are a homework cheater, their thread will probably start a very stimulating discussion, and in that case, Uplink is the real winner. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#666699"><em>"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff."</em> -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>
