Not exactly.
It was always advised that one does put fair effort in saving his 
problem on one's own before asking for help. Signing up for the list is 
part of the effort. The one who asks for help at lest realizes others 
will put effort on their side to provide that help. Of course, experts 
on this list are much more unselfish than people anywhere else.

What IS annoying for me is when some place like facebook demands I sign 
in or create account before showing anything (and leaving their banner 
taking 30% of area if I don't).
