How many times can one use "dear" in a post? Surely we can add a couple more in there!

Dear, oh dear, oh dear :w00t:

Not as cringing as ducky or ducks 😛

Far away is close at hand in the images of elsewhere.

I'm pretty sure we are. How many times have we not only told people where to find the info, but even provided it, or at least important excerpts.

Multiple times a day - and then we get to duplicate it. Often the duplication is several times a day too.

But it's a while back since I've last seen a LMGTFY link...

Seems like we're kinda learning search engine.

How does a search engine express it's/his/her feelings anyway?

If you can't explain to another person how the code that you're copying from the internet works, then DON'T USE IT on a production system! After all, you will be the one supporting it!
