Asking without searching first is disrespectful against users of that forum who spend time to answer questions. It's a little bit like saying "Instead of wasting 30secs of my life to search and try on my own, I'll waste 30secs of yours." Personally, when someone asks something.. and I can paste their exact question and get a well done tutorial on the subject, I don't feel like answering. For a total beginner, obviously, that's different.
