He has been asking basic bash, perl and now html questions in this one
week alone. I definitely understand that users might often face
similar problems in a days work and are inclined to ask the community
they belong to. But that should be done after some research on their
part and not as often as this. I have also asked a few bash questions
in the past but only after I failed despite considerable effort on my
part.

I don't top post, but I did so in this occasion as I wasn't answering
the original question raised by Mathias.

Agreed, but still that doesn't justify frequent ill researched OT questions.
