Not to agree or disagree with either "look it up" or "ask first" but I completely disagree with this statement.

If I have a sitch, I can look up the rule, then discuss it. Sometimes the verbiage isn't clear, sometimes you can't make the connection to your sitch, and sometimes you can't find the exact rule you're looking for. All of these promote discussion and make the board thrive, yet I first attempted to look up the rule myself.

The life blood of the forum is discussing interpretations of the rules, not spitting out rules to keep others from reading.

Again, this is simply in rebuttal to the quoted statement.
