Don't Back Down

Laziness Breeds Contempt »

My contempt, I mean. Over time, it really makes me mad. Not mad as in "I'm going to go out and hurt someone" or "I think I'll blow up that shack over there" or anything like that. But mad as in "I can't believe people are so lazy". In the latest example, I received a comment on an entry. The entry itself is old. It has nearly 200 comments on it.

I understand that is a lot of comments to read, but the answer to this particular question lies, at least once, in the comments prior to the one they just left. And it lies in at least one other place on my blog as well.

Now if you had to read everything, be it all those comments or all those entries, then perhaps you'd have a point. That's a lot of reading to get to a very simple answer, and asking if someone knows the answer may be faster. But there is a search on the site. There is a search function in every major browser that I've ever used.

Why can't these people actually make use of those things and realize "hey, the answer is right there", instead of expecting people to point them to that conclusion?
