Question quality is dropping on Stack Overflow

I'm getting the feeling SO has made a big step in the "mechanical turk for programming assignments" direction lately. It's always been something like that, but it's starting to get really bad now.
Are those times a-changin'?

And what about CP?

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

All the good questions have already been asked. Now google finds them.
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein -

I feel there are many questions that deserve an answer, but have not been asked, especially for new programmers who can't extrapolate the parts of code from a different question. I also feel that the people there are getting quite rude and unhelpful. I asked a simple question about the proper syntax for a MySQL Query being embedded within C# code, and instead of answering me, there was like 15 answers, all about how I didn't ask it right, even though they knew what I was asking, and they shut down my question. That is one of the biggest reasons I enjoy coming to CodeProject. We don't have issues like that here. We seem to be more understanding and we try to look past imperfect syntax and answer what they need to know.

I've heard similar complaints about CP as well. I was just guessing and I wasn't completely serious, especially considering there's no way I could know that.

Sad. I hate bullies.
