Why should the OP do that?
When they can instead..
- get people like you to do it.
- get a job at your firm and steal your code.
- get a job as your boss.

With which statement are you disagreeing? That people who don't do their= own

That it would be poetic justice? That you were enabling such behavior? T= hat

These assertions were gleaned from Andrew's compact message. I may have = missed
a few. All are arguable and debatable.
FWIW, probably less than .2 =E2=82=AC, I'd agree that homework laziness = is bad. You

You obviously thought about what you were doing and I respect that.
For the OP and others with "homework-sounding" questions, the oft-repeat= ed
advice for Usenet participation is "Make an effort!", and describe that = effort
in the request for feedback. Show or tell the specific approach and deta= iled
difficulties.
Too many times people pose academic-style questions with demands for who= le
solutions in terse, haughty-sounding messages - no mention of prior effo= rt or
specific problems. Too many times, these people react in aggrieved tones= to
the "do your own [home]work" response chorus, rather than shifting to mo= re
appropriate modes. Just take the heat in good nature and provide details= ; all
will instantly be forgiven and the larks will sing.
So many, like Faton, are so eager to help; it behooves seekers to show r= espect
for that voluntary commitment.
So, what is YOUR problem, sire,
if someone is willing to help others
for whatever reason he thinks?
You see, it is YOUR rigid mind
that has ALL sorts of prejudices,
thinking that the entire planet Earth
is to turn around its axis
according to HIS command.
What does this model remind you,
oh wisest one of all the wisest?
