   I have a simple rule: if someone asks me a question that can be a Google query, don’t answer them.

   This is because I don’t like doing Google queries on someone else’s behalf.

   And if they really wanted to know the answer, they would do the work themselves.

     @atomicpoet That worked up until this year. The problem is that now, more and more, Google returns junk. (And so do other search enginges — it's not just a problem with Google.)

     More and more, I find myself wanting to ask my questions of an actual human, because I can't trust the internet at all.
