This is why I think the wiki is so important.  If someone has a question about something specifically on the wiki, just shoot them a link, rather than doing their dirty work for them a scrounging through threads or repeating things that have been well established.  If they have a question about something specifically in the wiki, at least we know they've read it and considered it before posting, and at the very worst, the wiki will have to be edited to make it more clear.
