[gui-talk] Traffic on the list

[albert griffith]

For the next week I'd like us to indicate Google in the subject lines of
posts where the information sought could be obtained there.  I believe most
of the time we ask others for information we could get somewhere else.

I hate being told to go google something as an answer to a question I pose. 
When I need an answer to a question, it's usually because I'm stuck on a 
problem, and would appreciate somebody helping me with how to get out of it.

When you google something, you have to wade through all kinds of stuff, and 
you don't know if it is helpful to you with a screenreader or not.  That's 
why these lists exist, so people can help each other.  I think just telling 
somebody to go google something is awfully highhanded and inconsiderate. 
Now, I will shut up.  Pam
