+MartyFouts Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 We were just chatting on #geocache, and the question of searching the forums versus putting a question out and having "some smartass" do your research for you came up. So, I ask, which smartass does your research? Marty Fouts ae6ip Quote Link to comment
+Poindexter Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 I try to do my own research. Quite obviously, many people here don't do any research at all and don't even read the FAQ's. I guess it annoys some people to the point that they flame the posters who ask the same questions that have been asked over and over. I just ignore them and let them be answered by those who have no problem helping these people out. Iv'e learned a lot just by "reading the mail" and I contribute when I can help out. That's what these forums are all about. Yes, there are a few "smartass's" here and there are also many who are helpful and actually know what they are talking about. The Internet, the more you read, the more confused you get Quote Link to comment

+Team GPSaxophone Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 I do my own research. When planning a trip (to California, or Colorado) I look up freeway-close caches that the kids can do. It gives us an excuse to stop somewhere other than a tourist trap gas station. -------------------------------------------- This signature line intentionally left blank Quote Link to comment
+LaPaglia Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 Normaly I wait for Mopar et all to do my research but since this KEY9 thingy thats not happening any time soon. Lapaglia Muga Muchu (forget yourself, focus) Quote Link to comment
+welch Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 I'll run forum searchs, and if that doesn't work Ill pop into ClayJar's chat and ask there. After running down all the ideas (and maybe keywords) from the chat. Ill either give up, or if its really important I might email Markwell and ask "do you know if anyone said this and this?" Which reminds me... Hey 9Key, is it alright with you if Markwell sends a reply email quickly or should he wait awhile? Quote Link to comment
