As long as a testee is allowed to use reference material, etc. why should they not ask a question here? I personally research all of my own questions, but I do help out those that ask on this site, as well, if I know the answer. Besides, who made the above poster the "tester police" anyway? I saw no complaint from the administrator concerning multiple posts for a similar question.
