Persistent laziness...?

I had the nerve to comment on murray's repeated posting of the same question and he blocked me. He wants someone to solve his 'tower of hanoi' problem. I've seen numerous people give him help short of writing code for him but he wants code. So, do his work for him and get 10 points. Criticize his repeated posting of the question and get blocked....oh, or ignore him.

Update:

It's the third question down from this...

Update 2:

Thanks for the first 2 answers. It seems unlikely that it's a bot because a bot would probably not have the capability to block me...but, there are some sophisticated bots around.

    Do you realize people keep answering with the same answer

    hanoi(height-1, fromPole, withPole, toPole);

    moveDisk(fromPole, toPole);

    hanoi(height-1, withPole, toPole, fromPole);

    }

    which is a trivial approach to the simple tower of Hanoi problem. All I asked was for an approach to solve the generalized problem of tower of Hanoi where the USER specifies the initial configuration and the final configuration: example: ABBCB for initial and ACCBA for final configuration. As you can see this is the most simple step which is what I was asking for help. The next step is when the biggest disk is not on the same tower for the initial and final configuration. In the other hand I understand some people might get mad but atleast I am trying to do the problem while other students are just copying from their techy friends. Also I do not show all my code as this can be copied from other students. In the latest question I give more information.

    I believe the correct answer here is to hit the report abuse button on his questions. After all I believe posting the same question a dozen times in a week and throwing a tantrum about the answers qualifies as community abuse.

    I think it's a bot. There's a couple around you see now and then. Need a way to ban by ip block.
