A-H "I think it's reasonable that an element of human nature is involved in moderation - what one Mod may delete, another may allow - that's simply the nature of moderation. " I agree entirely, but please remember that this is a two-way mechanism and that the perpetrator may not have answered in a way that can be described as rude.....e,g the OP of this thread....

What on earth is wrong with suggesting that people use Google? It can save a lot of time. Google does not provide all the answers, though, hence the need for AB. Other posters with the relevant knowledge can provide instant information, thus saving the time and trouble of ploughing through masses of information on Google. There is a well-known poster on here who appears to be omniscient whilst in reality he just uses Google and relays the answer back. There used to be another poster, a few years back now, who would answer with a screen saying, 'Let me Google that for you. How difficult is that?' Now that IS rude.
Please see the fifth point in the AB Editor's response at 09:55 on this thread :

Having shown a few people how to use the internet, its my experience that a few folk are nervous about using search engines as they are afraid they may click on a dodgy site. Hence, they tend only to use sites they are familiar with. To be told to google it rather than try and answer makes them feel inadequate. Not every one has been using technology for years. I'm sure you meant no offence Mexican.
