Why not, if they don't say? If it's not important enough to spend some time looking themselves, why should it be important enough for someone else to spend time looking?

There's a great article written by Eric S. Raymond and Rick Moen: "How to ask questions the smart way". It's full of things that many of us have learned the hard way, but is a worthwhile read for anyone trying to get help in a forum like this:

I just skimmed, but looks like some good stuff. I did save the link to check later.

Right, or wrong, questions like started this thread, always make me think that what's meant is, "I haven't bothered looking myself, but i want somebody to find plans for me". To me, "google" is a good enough response to posts like that.

On the other hand, if they say something along the lines of, "I've been to the library, and looked on the web for two days, and still can't come up with and plans for whatever", it might just mean he/she can't search worth a damn, but at least they're trying. Anyone that's willing to at least try is worth giving a bit of help to. I still wouldn't e-mail them whatever they're looking for.

I are always reddy to gain new knowledge. Thanks.

Go to your local Internet store and look on the lefthand rack. Plans are right there next to the plans for making a pointy stick and making a board. They're free, so just take them and enjoy!
