A question to the people HELPING THEM!

_{The correct title of this thread is ``A question to the people HELPING THEM!''. The omission of BBCode is because of technical restrictions.}

Let's say you come upon a cretin asking for help. The language is VB, Java, PHP, or basic C. He's too much of a dolt to use the [code] tags. His code is offensively bad and his question is easily answered by a quick google search. Add some imageboard vocabulary and lack of any punctuation whatsoever for good measure.

Why do you help people like these?

I do believe you impute intentions which aren't there.

Personally I fully support the default-sage mindset, and it's not because I believe there was once some golden era of sage. What do I care what happened then? - I want it to happen now.

Even if I did believe in such a time it doesn't mean I'd support its continued application out of sheer orthodoxy, and I don't really imagine any /prog/lodyte thinking that way either.
