I always confirm and follow all links that I post before I press SEND.=20
In addition I follow the search links, ensuring that the top three or=20
four contain information pertinent to the question. Often I will spend=20
some time reading the articles to which the search linked. I learn a=20
lot doing that.

By offering a search link I'm able to provide much, much more information=
=20
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=20
terms I wouldn't have asked!"

Exactly. But rather trivial, as that could be said about every question=20
that comes up here. But you took an important first step, seeking help=20
for your problem.=20

My skill at providing search terms that will help you find your answers=20
is my gift to you. You are most welcome.
