Yeah... but you know, if everyone just googled, then
eventually those google answers would start to become
less prevalent, accurate or timely. This forum, and
others like it, contribute to the base of the
knowledge that you hold so dear when searching.
Embrace the questions... even the basic and simple
ones.
While I do have somewhat of a RTFM mentality, I also
recognize that there are those who seek answers in
different ways. I've also found that by asking what
might seem like a small question with what would seem
to be an easy answer, I get an answer that is more
enlightening that I expected.
And... I've actually wondered why Oracle didn't think
to include an oerr utility in Windows...
I have, for the most part, removed my self from
newsgroups and the like because of a relative few that
are impatient, intolerant and even rude. I've removed
myself because of those who choose to email me in
private asking me to essentially consult for free.
I have removed myself for the most part because Mr.
Hackno from Paraguay keeps telling me he is the
president of the Paraguay National Peoples Bank and he
needs my account number to funnel $20,000,000.00 US
into. (it never fails that after I post I see an
uptick in these for about 2 weeks).
I don't know if there are others that lurk out there
that hesitate to participate for these same reasons,
but I suspect so. I get enough stress and grief in my
real life, I don't need it virtually too!
On the other hand, I've made some good friends here
too....
My opinion, YMMV
