Google does answer things - but with the explosion of "expert" solutions
to problems based on keyword searches you end up on such useless pages
as eHow and so on that are full of crap. Even the Apple discussion
pages are awash with misleading diagnoses and solutions.
Wrt "ant" he has a history of asking pretty lame questions that he could
get the answer to via the usual expedients of the FM, the product
website/support pages and yes, for that matter, a Google search.
Exacerbating his presence is his oft mentioned "one of my clients..."
which makes one wonder how he postures as an expert and then comes
running here for the most basic of things ...
