This is of course about the continuous people's homework questions as composers' C.V.s, contributions, list of compositions, personal lives, and other similar questions.
The matter I really don't understand that such information could be very easily obtained through the online searches, with definitely much more details than could be provided here. Also, they would get immediate results rather than waiting for other people's answers. And finally, it is really much easier and more simple to open google and type any inquiry, than to sign in and go through the Y/A questions!!
Could we call them "lazy people"? the lazy should prefer the easier methods!! so what could it be ?

My guess is that a lot of these askers have been told explicitly not to use on-line search engines (Should we be promoting Yahoo! over Google here?), or Wikipedia. This way they get an answer that has plausible attainability as a direct quote from an online site, while still not having to do _any_ research or book work.
Genius, I tell you!
... by the way, can you tell me about Beethoven or Bach or Mozart or someone?
Yes - lazy - and also not aware that there are better places to look. They are accustomed to spoon-feeding. I taught middle and HS for over 30 years in NY state. I am not going to get into NCLB, and the ills of society in general - and I taught in an urban/suburban consolidated district. When I has Study Hall supervision, I would tell the kids the subjects that I was really good at, and those that I had limited current expertise. I would tell them that I would do ONE problem ten times, until they understood - but would NOT do a second - a third - etc. They figured out that having another teacher's viewpoint was often very clarifying- but that I was no pushover. I maintain that presence here. I helped Azaroth (as did others) because we KNOW her - and her confusion was boiled donw to ONE point - the diminished fifth, which some non-Theory major teacher probably explained hastily, poorly, or not at all. Since I could analyze her pattern of answers and distill her problem, I was able to help. Otherwise - I think I am the Queen of *DYOH*!!!
