Perhaps I came on a little strong. On the other hand, I've always found those types of posts annoying, especially when I knew that link hadn't been working for me for a while. Could it be an ISP thing?
Is it a bandwith/storage space issue? I just don't understand the issue about multiple questions. If it's been asked and you know it, provide the link. If you don't know the link, ignore it. If you can't ignore it, find it and post it. Even saying, "I found it on Google a while back but didn't bookmark the page is just as helpful and much more kind."

Well at the time I posted the link was up, I can't really check the links I post every day to check they are still valid. Such is the world of the internet that sites go down some times.
As far as using Google/Search function, it is just providing a tool for finding what you are looking for faster next time instead of creating a new thread.
I would understand your comment if I'd said something like "search n00b!" or "use Google n00b!" and didn't provide the link. I was merely trying to point out where most apps can be found.
So if the link you posted goes down tomorrow, would it be ok for me to say your post wasn't helpful? I doubt it. We are all here to help each other, and I think we do it every day, however, at some point we need to direct new users to search instead of creating 5 different threads on the same app/issue. |
