Rant Rant Rant

[CaptainTom]

Have we all become so lazy that we have to have other people do all of our thinking for us ? It seems that I have seen an awfully lot of threads lately that ask the most basic (not stupid) questions that all it would take is a quick google search to get the answers. We all get tired of answering questions about camera operation when all the poster had to do was read the @$##$ manual (rtfm). General beginner questions are great, but most can more easily be addressed with a simple search of google. If you are still confused or wanting more in depth information, that is the time to post a thread and get some more advice.

Rant is over, and I feel better. By the way. Why do people put up stupid threads complaining about the way other people act ? Who cares if you are tired of basic questions that could be answered by a google search ? Just get over it and help people out.

Maybe some folks just want that human interaction that the internet so effectively provides.

I've deliberately refrained from posting to hopefully dispell the belief that I am more stupid than I look ... What's a "google" ? Hmmmm, let me look in my 20 year old dictionary and see if I can find a definition ... gaggle, gargle, giggle, guppie, .... nope, no such word exists in my "current" material ...

See what I mean. All you've got to do is go to Google, type in Google and you'll get the definition. Simple !!! Wait, what's wrong with my logic here ?
Never Mind.

I don't shoot with Nikon's, but my answer, which if qualified because of my lack of experience with Nikon cameras, since I shoot with Canon, would be to READ THE FREAKIN MANUAL...... I feel better..

Tom -

To be honest, many people simply don't think about using Google...in fact, I would wager that most people who Google don't know how to USE Google...

There isn't a manual...

Need a calculator? Just type in the expression into Google's search engine...

Need to Google on the road? Send a txt to GOOGLE ...

I love Google...I just wish I could afford their stock...

Pilots are anxious to get their time in before the storms come. Also, some aircraft are being moved to bases west of here to avoid the weather. Lockheed test pilots are flying aerobatics to stay current. C130's coming and going with storm supplies, etc.
