No, it *is* helpful, because it gives the person two really essential 
informations:
- The answer you look for is probably in the "manual" 
(documentation/google/etc.)
- Not doing your homework is highly frowned upon

which show you haven't made a basic level of your own homework only 
wastes everyone's time and email space, and is therefore *not* welcome.
