<p>I agree. I don't see any reason for us to recreate wikipedia here. People should do a little bit of homework before asking a question.</p>

<p>The fact is: this is a community driven process.  You can vote to close a question, and you just need 4 more people to agree.  So go ahead and give it a try.  Getting people to discuss it on meta won't change behavior as much as trying to actually do it on the site.</p>
