Why is it a pre-requisite? Is there some internet rule that says a person must search for something he or she is looking for before they ask for help? If so, please post it and all pertinent information about it.
Is it hard to search? For some yes. For others no. I have a great deal of trouble finding things. I do try Google and occasionally eBay, but rarely find stuff that I KNOW is there. If someone gives me a direct link I can go there and take care of what I need. But if I loose that link ... forget it, for me to find it again is a lost cause.
As many times as people on this and other forums have said to "Google it", it's becoming a very annoying comment. I wish those that can find anything and every thing in an instant would either cough up the link or just not post anything. I guess this last year of sickness has made me touchy, but being told I must Google it before I can ask about then told it cant be that hard, well, it's just got me P.O.'d.
And Mike, In all the times I've been told, and I've seen others told, they must Google it first, NOT ONE has shared this "
Let me Google it for you." link. Not one. Nice secret you Google lovers have been keeping. I'll try it, but I'm not gonna hold my breath.
Sorry I this post offends Mike or anyone else, but this "you must search for first BS has me
( __________ ) this time.
