It is linked in the top of the article, but the Eric Raymond "How to Ask Smart Questions" article is required reading on this subject http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

The flip side is also in answering a question so that knowledge is actually transferred and that others that have a similar question are enlightened.

What is also important is to not just answer the lower order question, but to figure out why the question arose in the first place and solve that problem.
