But on a couple of my library lists (specific ones) there's this bizarre tendency to have people show up asking things that are so easy to Google it's mind-boggling.
(Stuff like "I want to be a librarian. What are the ALA accredited schools in [state]?" Which does tend to lead to the list going "If you want to be a librarian, this would be a good way to start. Go forth and Google.")
I had an exchange with someone in email yesterday where she asked a question, I said "Let me go check on that" and she sent "Argh! Didn't mean it that seriously, don't go to any trouble." (The reason I wanted to check was to double check some dates, which I found in under 10 minutes, which is not bad given that I had to go dig in a Yahoo group for them.)
