I always confirm and follow all links that I post before I press SEND. 
In addition I follow the search links, ensuring that the top three or 
four contain information pertinent to the question. Often I will spend 
some time reading the articles to which the search linked. I learn a 
lot doing that.

By offering a search link I'm able to provide much, much more information 
to the querent than anything I could condense myself into a post.

Some people get mad, saying, "If I could have come up with those search 
terms I wouldn't have asked!"

Exactly. But rather trivial, as that could be said about every question 
that comes up here. But you took an important first step, seeking help 
for your problem. 

My skill at providing search terms that will help you find your answers 
is my gift to you. You are most welcome.
