Using the list as an alternative to Google, which
"some" folks do, is
violating the spirit of the purpose of CCTALK. At least have the courtesy
to take blatantly off-topic questions off-line (and SPECIFICALLY REQUEST
that any off-topic answers go to private e-mail).
I am quite guilty occasionaly of using the list on things I should google
for. But those things are definitely on-topic. Sometimes it's because I'm
lazy. Sometimes it's because I get way too many responses from google to
sift through. Other times it's because I'm trying to start up an on-topic
conversation on the list in order to steer it away from an offtopic one
currently in progress. Hint.
