The above techniques will almost always help you avoid the LMGTFY responses. Most importantly: 1. Ask the question you were first trying to answer. Don't partially answer it through google, then assume that you got it right but hit one or two snags. It might be that you answered it wrong in the first place. 2. Do include links to info you have found, but don't assume anyone will use/agree with/include them in their responses. Someone may know an even better way, due to more experience. 3. I have to agree that no-one needs to deprecate themselves in order to get responses. Newbie you may be, but the only relevant information is the stuff at hand. If the responses are so technical that they don't make sense, it's always acceptable to ask for more details.
