I think your stance makes sense in an employer-employee relationship.
Personally, I don't search for "everything", just "some of it".  It's a balance
worth honing.  As I wrote, asking is fine, so is replying that the answer    
is nearby.  Sometimes I ask (in fact I did here, if you care to look up),
sometimes the answer really is nearby and it's just a question of using 
a MUA to read up-thread.  You're free to ignore this advice, of course,  I'm 
just supplying it since you took issue with my "examples are in the patch".
