I got embarrassed a few weeks ago during a particularly interesting 
thread when I more or less ordered some people to use google to read the 
thread.

At this time the original message in the thread had been out there for a 
week or two.

I don't need to finish the story: nothing doing via google.

So those of you who roast the newbie in a heartbeat, while performing in 
the main a valuable function, need to be aware that sometimes "search 
the archives, stupid" is not really going to reveal the information that 
your tart messages imply will be forthcoming.
