Two things wrong with that statement:

1) It assumes the mailing list is your personal whipping boy and not a last
resort (a bad assumption: smart (and thus listworthy) questions have an
attempt at research backing them up in the first place.
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#before)

2) Google isn't a conglomerate.  They just do internet stuff.  GE would be a
conglomerate (what with being in venture capital, storage, locomotive
manufacturing, NBC, a wide variety of electrical devices, water
desalinization...).

The thing is, many times it is those same people's responses you find on
google. This then causes them to re-iterate. Not that many mind it,
though.

I prefer mailing lists myself.  It's more human, rather than the
faceless, conglomerate google.
