There was a time, when the internet was young and most newbies couldn't find
their own backsides with both hands, that your conclusions would be well
placed.That time has long passed: Newsgroups are a long way down the
hierarchy since those times and anyone turning up here nowadays _has_ heard
of Google. If they haven't used it, I don't really consider the gentle
reminder that LMGTFY gives too harsh. If you do, you're too much of a gentle
soul to be on the internet at all; someone might say "Boo" to you at any
moment. Beware.
