{snark} on one of my pet peeves...

Asked in a community...
I'm sure this question has been asked before but "I really don't feel like scrolling back through pages and pages of posts."


Then I don't feel like giving you the same answers...

Well, that's me told.

I occasionally need the answer to a question quickly. I sometimes, believe it or not, have other urgent things to do. I have used both the search function in various fora and communities and Google itself, and found them on many occasions to be worse than useless unless I happen to hit on the exact form of words contained in the answer. So I have sometimes, with great trepidation, started a new thread with just such a form of words as you quote. I really didn't realise that it was such a very aggravating thing.

In future I just won't bother asking the questions. I'm sorry for having taken up people's time.

There is a difference between "I've looked but cannot find...", "I need this fast...", or even a "Help me, I'm confused..."

and

"I'm to damned lazy to look and I'm telling you I'm to damned lazy to look, so please serve me the information I want..."
