And somehow I've managed to never suggest someone search for their answer. In the time it would take me to post that "snarky" reply, I could give the answer requested, make the member happy and help keep the forum a warm, welcoming place. But maybe that's just me.
While I hear and appreciate what you are saying, I can't subscribe to the same philosphy and would therefore not make a good Amb. as I don't think it too much to expect veterans who know, or should know, of the excellent FT tools and how to use them before asking a question. I can only imagine the signal to noise ratio if everyone got lazy and didn't even bother trying to find the answer on their own and so can't think laziness is a trait to be encouraged, especially given the message that sends to new arrivals.
