You obviously wish to prompote yourself as a Pascal God, dispensing your wisdom only to approved questions that do not appear to be homework. Well, I for one will help anyone, anytime with any question. I still remeber the time when it was I who had questions on "simple" problems that probably looked like homework. Even if it is a homework question, this is a legitimate place to look for an answer. Citing the reference/person who helped neatly takes care of the palgiarism issue. If we take on an attitude that only "proper" questions can be answered on the net, then we all become elitests, something that is anthema to the net. So, users, keep on asking those questions, even if they are homework, and don't be intimidated by anyone who flames you. It is hard enought to get people to ask for help in class because of the intimidation factor involved. The net is designed to overcome barriers like this.
