Sure...but this is the "real world" and we all know that isn't going to happen no matter how many times it is suggested or how many "read before posting" notices are set. So, IMHO, if you are unwilling or unable to provide good advice then it is best to provide no advice at all. > If people took a few minutes to google, they'd have their answers before > their questions got an answer, and that would be better for them. Well, maybe. What happens when the person does the google and then gets conflicting answers or an answer that conflicts with your answer? I think we all know that one cannot easily separate the correct from the incorrect in google response and that there certainly is a ton of bad information out in the internet world. >> FWIW, haven't you ever been a newbie? > > yes, Ed.
