Some of you may be familiar with lmgtfu.com, the site for people who 
don't know how to use Google.

Today I came across whathaveyoutried.com, the site for people writing 
forum posts asking people to write their code for them.

I don't think any of those wo /should/ read it will actually spend time 
to do so.

A short simple message might be more suitable for the target group, such 
as: "Don't waste our time before you have wasted a decent portion of yours!"

Trouble is, to some people that just means that you have to spend at 
least half an hour trying to find the ready-coded solution to your 
problem before posting a message asking somebody to write it for you.
