People who post a question on this or some other forum when they could get an answer just by googling it. I don't understand why people are looking for opinions when the facts are so close at hand...
I would like to hear other people's success stories or their 'don't do this, whatever you may have read' or tips from people who might have opinions I value.
I have asked questions here before and gotten googled answers, but I would rather know what YOU think!
Isnt the point of a forum so that people can ask questions and not just have people doing random ramblings ? Besides, if its asked here when people Google there is a good chance hey will pull up CD forums and we will get new members too.
People are asking things that are not opinion-based. An example of a non-opinion-based question is: "Is there a hospital in or near Raleigh?" The fact that they posted the question indicates they have access to a computer. Putting "hospital in Raleigh" in a google search would net an answer in seconds rather than waiting for people to respond - often from people who simply google it. I saw one too many such questions which brought me to today's pet peeve.

I've thought the same thing at times but I still help them out. Oops I also asked one the other day. Sometimes is nice if someone from CD has the answer. It's quicker than sifting through pages on Google.
That doesn't bother me...I then google said question, come back with an answer and a link and everyone thinks I know what I'm talking about!
Google..I'm a fan..
