Raymond's post has become too long over the decades.

I occasionally point people to https://entertaininghacks.wordpress.com/library-2/good-questions-pique-our-interest-and-dont-waste-our-time-2/

I also occasionally complement newbies on the quality of their question :)

Similar to the high voltage warning signs!

I've been guilty of this too... but all too often you start a post asking about something and then by the time you are finished, you've found the answer, and then not wanting to erase all your hard-earned mental purging, you hit the "POST" button. This is like when teachers ask you to "show your work" during math, instead of just giving the answer, but in this case you use a forum like a scratch-pad for your brain, which is not all that easy to understand to anyone but yourself.  :-DD 


[UPDATE:]

I successfully passed (100%) the Elektrotanya test I retook today (last time I got 80%). They changed most of the questions. Four were fairly easy, then I got a bit stumped on the last... a picture of a schematic and asked whether it was a horizontal section of a CRT, audio tone amplifier circuit or power supply to an appliance. The question pool is interesting, it's broad but not too heavy on the math. Fun to take and work the brain a bit for hobbyists like me who do not have any formal training in the field but rely on reading many books on the subject to learn.
