hi,
I would say that using Google can be tricky to get the 'answers' that you are looking for if you are not sure of what to search for.
If an OP appears to be unsure about the subject he is asking for help on, I do the same as MikeL, do a search for 'what I think' the OP is really asking about.
I would say most of the experienced 'helpers' can quickly recognise the keywords in an OP's text and then do a context search on Google and then post the link or best search string.
Regarding 3v0's time, I have worked with him on many occasions on the Chat-Line helping 'wannabees', its rewarding when you see the light come on in the 'askers' mind after a few minutes of chat dialogue.
IMHO 3v0, makes a positive contribution to these Forums and how he does is it is no one else's damn business.
