I'd say no. This wasn't a request to do the work for them. It was a requst for
information about how to go about doing the work. I'd personally have no problem
telling a student that. For instance, if the previous poster who just
regurgitated his homework assignment had added "Where would I go to find this
information?", I think he would have got a lot fewer snide responses. Instead,
he added "Does anyone know how to do this?". To me, that has an implied, "If so,
please tell me. Then I can copy your answer verbatim into my homework, turn it
in to the teacher, and get an 'A'".
