do they think we don't know how to use the internet ourselves?
I'm feeling a little curmudgeonly at the moment...

btw: I ask questions to provide people with amusement, not to seek knowledge. if I honestly want to know something, I'll look it up!

Really, I don't do that. I answer my own.
By the way tell you some jokes:
-Doctor! I have a serious problem, I can never remember what i just said.
-When did you first notice this problem?
-What problem?
One more joke:
A guy calls his vet and says "What should I do with my cat?Vet says "What do you mean? Guy says "I had a leak in my lawnmowers gas tank and the cat drank the gas. Then the cat began to run around and around the yard, climbed a tree. then fell out of the tree stiff. Vet says "Is the cat dead? Guy replies "nope he ran out of gas.

Have no fear, the Blue Faerie is here! I have no idea what I'm saying, running purely on caffeine right now. But yeah, that's kind of annoying. What I've done in the past is provide my own answer, and then just the link to Wikipedia, I love Wiki! It's so easy to use, more people should just go there for real info :)

I am guilty of this, but there are many people who are just as guilty or worse as the do copy from Wiki or other sources, yet fail to reference the source.
I love Wikipedia. I try to only include, in most cases, a snippet and then a link. I also enjoy learning something new. I didn't come here to chat, but rather to learn new information ...I thoroughly enjoy this site, save the morons and the dipshits that post junk.

Same reason people insist asking questions without searching the web first. Drives me nuts sometimes.
I don't copy and paste from wikipedia. I give one sentence synopsis and provide a link to wikipedia.

sometimes i feel that way too but with a different situation. I use yahoo answers if i can't find the stuff I'm looking for in the net. like where can i find this and that. then someones bound to answer look it up in google. they just don't get it.

If you know how to use the Internet yourself, why don't you just look on wikipedia in the first place, most simple questions that people ask on here could be solved a lot quicker if they checked wikipedia or googled it.

Deadly earnestness and/or lack of imagination.
Some truly believe they're being helpful and assume you hadn't thought of looking the information up yourself.
Others don't have an original thought in their heads.
Feeling any less cranky now?

I NEVER give best answer to a wikipedia copy and paste. i would rather hear it straight form another person, even if it is less detailed...

Probably because that's the quickest and easiest way to answer alot of straight forward questions.
Bless Wikki. It does intelligence good.
