Why, in the photography section, do people bother to answer where to buy something with common sense, broad responses like Amazon or eBay?

I'd like to think that most people are trying to be helpful. But... then there are the idiots who may, in fact, like to hear themselves type. Don't lose sleep over trying to make sense of what happens here or anywhere else on the internet.

IF individuals are unhappy with the answers they receive here, why don't they do their own Internet search in the first place? Are they incapable of doing that for some reason or do they simply want others to do their work, as servants are hired and paid to do?

When you ask a question on a public forum, you take the good, the bad and indifferent because it is all you'll get here... either take it or do your own research... now, really, isn't that simple?

Why not? If people are too lazy to use a search engine or directory to find answers before asking questions that they can find the answer for themselves, why would you/they expect us to do it for them? 80+ percent of the questions asked here can be answered with a simple search, but most people are too lazy to be bothered to do it for themselves!

And why do you have problem with that? No one requires you to answer. :-)
