Non programmer debugging and fix-my-code questions?

$

On a fairly regular basis I come across a question like this one.

The poster in this case is fairly honest in explaining that he employed a programmer to write code, and now wants to change it. He isn't really a programmer, and obviously doesn't want to pay someone to pick up the software and is coming to SO to get some free consulting.

I want to close the post for a few reasons. First off, the issue is trivial and simple for any intermediate developer to solve.

I also don't see any real long term value of a question like this for future developers. It's essentially a one-off.

Am I off base in thinking this question should be closed?
