Answer 8

You're supposed to guide the asker to the solution, not just give them an answer and explanation.
"Don't devalue the question/answer process!
Don't provide someone with just the answer - explain the process, and help guide them through understanding the problem.
Don't just provide the answer to a problem when someone else is in the middle of helping! But if you want to help, by all means, join in!"
