Maybe for you, but we've certainly seen people that were just too lazy to
bother.  If you are truly overwhelmed and don't know where to look, ask
that.

Q: What bank is PORTA in?
A: RTFM, moron.

Q: I'm trying to find out what bank PORTA is in, but all this
  documentation is overwhelming and intimidating right now.
  Where should I look?  By the way, does anyone happen to know
  the bank PORTA is in?
A: <Pointer to datasheet DSxxxx, probably a page reference for
  the register map, probably the bank of PORTA, and maybe a
  ensuing discussion of banking, how to deal with it, possibly
  general guidance to PIC datasheets, maybe pointers to beginner
  tutorials>

How you ask a question DOES matter.  The questioner needs to have some
responsibility too.

Dumbing things down is for the dumb.  If you keep doing that, those are who
you'll be left with.
