What really bugs me is when someone asks a simple question
and someone spends a bunch of time telling them that they
need to do more research using capital letters and an abusive
tone when answering the question or giving a link would have
taken the same amount of time.

Give a man a fish and he will have food for a day. Teach him to fish and he will have food for the rest of his life.

i was thinking that when refering a newcomer to google search it would be helpfull to give them a term to search.
 as in all areas of specialized knowlege there is a lingo that needs to be learned in order to converse.
