I don't think Howard was intending to be hurtful. It is simply a fact that a
lot of students post their homework questions here as a lazy way of getting
through their course. When a post looks like a homework question and when
there is no evidence that the person asking the question has done some work
on it, it is routine for people here to suggest that the person making the
post do some work on it first. It would not be a good thing if this forum
did become a way for people to get someone else to do their homework.

Noone here knows for sure whether or not a question is a homework question
and sometimes they get it wrong. Don't take it personally.
