Sounds like a good idea, but what happens when you answer, and they still ask the same question? What happens when the same topic has been covered 2 dozen times (that's what search is for)? What happens is what Ronwest suggested - we don't post, or we use PMs to sort them out.

I also think you'll find that help is more often than not offered to those who really want/need it, but to those who ask a question for the sake of asking, I personally don't have much time for them. I reckon you've been reading the "what oil?" thread and your comments may be aimed squarely at me - or maybe I'm being too sensitive. At the end of the day, that guy got the advice he needed. Whether he chooses to take it or not is up to him and his mate who tells him everything.
