Jun 6, 2016 at 17:45 comment added MCW Mod @user2590 - you're entirely correct, and before I downvote, I'll check to see if I used any standard tricks. I invoke the downvote of doom only when I copy the question title into google and find the answer in the first five results.
Jul 23, 2013 at 8:45 comment added user2590 The problem here is that if you know how to use google, wikipedia etc well (there are many tricks - not just simple searches) sites like this become useless according to your logic because you can find out the answer to anything that way. So IMO it's better to post questions even if you can find out by other means - when you post your question, you educate others thereby who might not have thought about the question or subject at all, so google wouldn't help them.
