Personally I've found that sort of thing in pretty much every movement I've ever been involved in... I've been involved in a lot of movements and have been perfectly happy to get off my ass and do some research on it rather than ask a bunch of basic questions to people who have better things to do, but apparently a lot of people just can't wrap their minds around such a task.

I think my next plan of action for such things is to compile a list of web resources and just print 'em out so when people ask me questions I can hand them a list of websites instead of having to answer a bunch of basic questions over and over again.
