Relax.
I find your confusion of "you're" for "your" equally irritating, but I
wouldn't have mentioned it.....

I can vouch for this.

Maybe I'm missing the point here, but if you're not prepared to answer
someone's question, why respond at all..?

Then don't..!

Personally, it doesn't bother me whether someone has Googled or not, if I
can answer a question I will do so. If you don't want to, don't, I for one
won't hold it against you, but complaining that people ask here without
looking on Google first isn't going to stop them, any more than replying
to trolls is going to stop *them* from infesting the system.

But it won't make any difference, they will *still* ask here, so you're
wasting your time. If you don't want to answer their questions then don't,
but keeping on at them to use Google is pointless.

Like I said, I will answer a question if I know the answer, if I don't I
keep quiet.

Feel free, but you're still wasting your time. Me, I'd rather spend my
time productively, by answering the question if I know the answer.

I wasn't replying to the IP as I didn't know the answer. I was replying to
the insistent "Google for it" reply. Sorry if I didn't make that clear.

Over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and
over, and over, and over, and over, and over again.

THAT'S how to spend your time productively. Yes sir. You've sure told
US.

Sorry but I must disagree, how many times have you been on a newsgroup
to find people asking the same question as that which has been answered
in another thread the very same day.

This is a resource not a spoon feed device, users should either be
taught or be self motivated enough to learn how to use it. Next thing
you know they'll be wanting people to give up their time & resources to
visit them to deal with the problem, that's if they don't learn (or
can't be bothered)...
