Doesn't really matter whether you agree.  You admitted to behavior 
anyone else would describe as lazy.

How is that relevant here?  We are not in a direct, face-to-face 
conversation.  It's a completely different type of interaction, one in 
which it's not only socially acceptable for you to remove yourself from 
the discussion momentarily in order to look something up, it's _expected_.

You are more than welcome to, instead of _asking_ what J is, follow-up 
with a post that _explains_ what J is.  No one is stopping you from 
that, any more than they are stopping you from asking the lazy question 
in the first place.
