Maybe, but I think there are too many people who do not want to work for anything. When I began to get interested in financial services I began to read everything that I could get my hands on about it (before I had internet access). When I began to actually look for a job and interview I had a good idea about what I was looking for and what "they were looking for."
Perhaps this is their research.
I'm not saying you have to hand hold them, but it also isn't necessary to slam them every chance you get.
Also, no one requires us to post on any thread. You want the millionth "How do I get started?" thread to go away? Ignore it. If no one posted to them, the threads would go away very quickly and it is likely newbies would stop posting so many of them.
