Thank you for sharing Electrode,
I do appreciate what wall of text you have written in an attempt to find harmony in our varying view points Electrode... However, the simplicity of actually searching for data, information, answers or whatever else one is looking for is something that everyone who has at least that rudimentary level of computer literacy should be expected to perform from anyone that comes in here seeking help... And my observation was just as simple in knowing that the OP didn't even bother to at the very least, perform an internet search in order to find some of the information he was looking for and simultaneously while performing the basic searchit would have hopefully aided him in narrowing down to the specifics of whatever it was he was actually looking for... Even if upon performing an initial search and being unsuccessful in his attempt, the fact is that the OP would have been exposed to enough choices to at least narrow down the specifics of whatever it was that he was actually looking for and to better refine his search afterwards...
The internet is probably - no, it definitely is the most important advance in technological innovation in the history of the world and ever since it's inception, it has continuously improved in it's ability to help anyone with the never ending innovations in search engine technology... Not too many years ago, the act of performing a search on the internet required the user's or seeker's ability to create a sort of syntax which required many attempts to formulate just the right set of words in order to perform a focused search via some early and now primitive boolean languages in order to be somewhat successful... In fact, much more time was spent trying to develop the most optimal search parameters that by the time one actually found what they were seeking, the process would have been somewhat overwhelming and felt as if one just experienced a condensed version of an 8 hour work day just for one single search!
Now, we only have to type in or even speak into the microphone and ask the many different types of search engines available with the use of one to maybe three words in order to perform a search which results in giving very detailed and relevant information or at the very least narrows down the search parameters to a more focused set of choices for whatever, whomever, or however one wants their answers to be concentrated on with the use of fuzzy logic otherwise known as artificial intelligence... So, not only is it so much easier to perform a search currently than just a few years ago, but the chances of finding what, where, why or how of anything is so much better these days and one can do this with the use of one or just a few words in the form of a simple sentence again to further refine their search if necessary...
And this is my whole point which for whatever reason is not being used enough by just about anyone that has the ability to do so... The search engines available within the internet are the tools that need to be used more often in order to at least narrow down a more focused pathway to whatever answers or knowledge one is seeking and the only way to take advantage of this wonderful tool is to use it and use it often... In the end if one is still not confident that they have done their due diligence in making an attempt to look for whatever it is they're seeking, they can then come here and ask for further assistance in helping them find the answer or knowledge they seek but unlike computers with search engines, we as humans can only do so much without having any detailed specifics to work with... And this is the main reason why some of us in here are growing tired of being asked queries that are ambiguous to say the least... I would like to respond more often with a blanket statement such as: "What do you think we are - mind readers?" But instead I try to refrain from using such bluntness as well as I can possibly tolerate those assumptions some folks have when asking for answers in here... And sometimes I can only tolerate so much which is why I challenge sometimes...
Are the search parameters offered by the OP too vague to use? I dare say no which further illustrates my point in strongly recommending and repeatedly suggesting that an initial search should be conducted both on the internet and within this forum by using the search function that's conveniently available to everyone to use... And then if their efforts to seek what they are looking for turns up short, then and only after making their own search, should they post a question in the forum... In this manner, it forces them to learn how to seek answers in a very efficient manner And after all isn't that what we really want to pass on to our future generations? I think so... Learning how to learn requires practice just like welding does but, one cannot improve their own skill sets in learning how to learn if they don't practice enough in doing so... Well, this isn't my longest wall of text and yet I think I made my point and explained why I sometimes give some newcomers a hard time by challenging them if there's even a hint that they at the very least did not perform their own search prior to posting such vague questions that could have easily been answered by using the tools available and then posting any further questions in order to elaborate further on the subject or topic in question.
Respectfully,
Henry
