If you hang around the forum for long, you will notice a certain population of members that apparently were potty trained on an electric chair. The best way to search the forum is go to the Google advanced search and put the below forum link in the "site or domain:" box, then search for the desired key words.
If you hang around the forum for long, you will notice a certain population of members that apparently can't spare 20 seconds to use Google with the word "arduino" in front of the phrase describing their topic. This is epidemic to the point where 20 to 40% of the questions would bring up at least 10 arduino or forum related links , yet the first stop is invariably the forum. I don't think the question "Have you heard of Google ?" is rude or unreasonable. It is a simple question and nothing more. One might wonder why someone would ask that question. References to potty training or electric chairs doesn't change the fact that Google is a very effective tool and it always the first place I go for information. I wouldn't ask someone else to do something I wouldn't do myself.
