Recently a question was asked that appeared to be a basic help me find stock-photography question. It attracted a LMGTFY link, which another user didn't appreciate.

So....... what do we think of (seemingly) poorly researched questions as a GD community? How should we handle them? Should they even be allowed, or closed on sight?

Update related to Brendan's response:

The "Ask Question" page has the following panel in the sidebar next to the question fields:

"read the faq" links to The FAQ.
"asking help" links to How To Ask.
