Ditto. And the person misread what I said about a Google search when they warned me. Go figure. I still don't get the animosity about giving someone the information they need to solve a problem. Education is bad?

It apparently offends the people that are unable to do their own legwork...

You must be one of the 10%!

I could have asked this question to a mod directly but I thought that I would go this route instead.
(Why not imgtfy?)

I thought that some of you would be curious?

There is nothing wrong with wanting to purchase an installation DVD vs download and burn an ISO image... And wanting to do so in no way indicates that the person wanting to do it is computer illiterate. Stop being so obtuse...

Do you really think you're Gods gift to mankind?

I think the difference might be that linking to a Google search page that has the answers the poster is looking for is considered okay, but the lmgtfr is considered rude. I know it's a fine line, but that seems to be the case.

When I link to a Google search I will give an explanation of why and let them know what to look for in the results when I remember to.

Notice I haven't posted in the other thread?

Right. Appears to be a real hot button issue with the mod staff. Some folks have already been given suspensions.
