Ya, I hear you... By the time I got access to USENET, I already knew how to program... And posting a question that effectively asked readers to implement your idea was no more likely to produce a friendly response than asking the same on CP today. OTOH, asking which books to read worked pretty well... Even if the answer was a terse, "read the FAQ".
Well, I got ripped a new one when I asked a C++ usenet group how to create a window. Along the way, I learned about C++, and I learned to respect the help I got from people who plainly knew a lot more than me, and offered me help for free.
