Personally, if I ask a question and the response I get is "The search engine is your friend" or something to that effect, I just go somewhere else for the information, another forum, or just google. I've left a few forums because of ignorant responses like that. It's like giving your waitress a .05 tip. It's way worse that giving nothing. Just about everything you could want to know can be found with google INCLUDING the information within forum archives which, if everyone used google would render forums needless and nothing more than archived information to be mined. Another interesting observation from someone that is/has been on many forums. Every once in a while, someone will come on and complain about lurkers, people that are registered but never post and sometimes even suggest that there should be a minimum # of posts before certain things can be accessed, like search, classifieds etc. It's often the same guys that, when a question is posted replies with "Do a search". People are a funny animal and I certainly don't envy those that own/run these public forums. JMO. Thanks for reading.

I am going to start suggesting people just "search the cloud".

This whole business of the "the cloud" is nonsense.
It is just a server somewhere, just as it always has been.
It's either on your own device hardware, or on a server somewhere else.

The "cloud"? haha lol

I have been thinking about making my own cloud using a 3D printer as someone recently suggested!
