Well said RMCF! Just for the record, 99% of the time I would check google or altavista first to answer my question but often there is not a satisfactory answer there.
I totally agree that people are better than google.
To be honest, it puts me off posting some questions up here sometimes as there seems to be numerous people who continuously insist on asking the poster if they have checked elsewhere first. C'mon guys, we're just hoping for answers to our questions, not a guide on 'where to look things up'.
