  • Why do people ask questions here which could be answered by searching the Internet themselves?

    Some people are asking for opinions on a choice, a situation, etc. However, a lot of questions seek factual answers, which can be found by basically plugging their question into a search engine. Most responses to these types of questions are probably researched by doing just that. Some credit their sources while many others do not. Why not do the searches for you? You will only get a brief answer here, however, doing the search yourself will return lots of interesting information and sites to explore. So, why let others have all the fun? Next time you want to know the title of the song with the lyrics "He hears the silence howling", or you want to know how many Nashvilles there are, or how many liters in a gallon, plug it into Yahoo search!
