People should always be encouraged to ask questions without fear of being humiliated. I feel it takes more courage to admit you don't know than to pretend you do, and that anybody who will belittle you or look down upon you for asking a question is not a person whose respect is worth garnering.

As to questions which have already been answered in previous threads, I agree with previous posts that using the search function is not the easiest or most time effective thing to do, not to mention there might be some new lurkers/posters who are not familiar with it. A simple and polite response providing a link to or identification of the relevant previous thread should not be too much to expect.
