Good reference is as good answer as direct answer.
Often even better,
teaching catching fish instead of giving fish.

In-experience and frustration can cause circles in the sand, so the boat
never sails, the fish are never caught.

A helpful answer AND a suggestion for further thought reduces stress,
enhances the gathering of knowledge and may also help others.
These groups are about helping each other, we should not aspire to be
directors of anything.

I agree, for difficult problems it is true.
Personally I like helping friends and people,
but not giving a fish without at least small fishing lesson.

For most of answers
it would be much faster for a requestor
to create simple Google query.
