RM-
At the beginning of soon-to-be's post she says she is doing research. Hence our response. Research is NOT putting together a list of questions and expecting an answer. Research to
me and to some others involves a little more work. Like picking up a book for example.
As far as 'Each One Teach One', I believe that teaching someone to fish, instead of handing over a plate of cooked salmon is far more beneficial.
Now you all know, that I do not usually come off as 'snobby' but we can't just hand things over everytime someone asks. There are a bunch of resources that can be found that answer the questions that were asked.

A couple of things.
First, soon-to-be clearly stated that she was not seeking membership in any BGLO. Now I ask this all jokes aside, but would NPHC etiquette still dictate that they do their own research under extenuating circumstances?
Second, I personally find contradictions in NPHC doctrine in that under one premise they stress "Each One Teach One" and "Am I my Brother's/Sister's Keeper?" and under another premise they stress the bootstrap/"I Got Mine, You Get Yours" doctrine. Frankly while I can see why you teach that, I nonetheless find it rather hypocritical.
In short, if the requirement to research applies regardless of seeking membership in the NPHC orgs, I apologize; I genuinely did not know that. All I did was help someone in need where IMHO I did not see anyone else actively doing so.
