I was downvoted, but not the guy asking easily-Googleable questions. Right.

So, I guess it's clear: we want more people asking stuff that can be answered by the first Google search result... by the article title itself.

Got it.




It's not what you said, it's the way you said it.


Non-rhetorical question: How do we say "Please, perform a cursory Google search before posting questions like that."

That's less snarky, but still pretty snarky. It's hard to sugarcoat the fact that the parent poster literally didn't read the title of the first Google result.


I guess maybe something like "I did a Google search for 'x y z', and it turned up the following relevant-looking results: ..."?

I think anybody can get the subtext "and it wouldn't be hard for you to do the same" out of that :)
