Turnabout's fair play: how bored do you need to be to waste other people's time penning responses like this?
Someone was curious about something, thought they'd ask on a website that's after all called Able2Know. Doesn't matter whether they were planning to do something with the information, or it was just idle curiosity. They're not wasting anyone's time, because nobody's being forced to answer. If someone happened to know, or thought of a good way to find out, they could answer the question; if not, they could skip past it and have wasted no more than the 30 seconds it took to read her original post. That's it.
I see this here too often: some newbie user registers and asks a question, about whatever random thing, and they get snarky or hostile responses about how useless their question was. I gotta say, it irks me. What good does it do to go into questions posed by new users about subjects that don't interest you, only to pen successive hostile responses about how bad their questions were? If I came across this site for the first time and saw responses like this, I'd think twice about registering myself.
