When thinking about your educational words to the address of the "lazy posters" it reminded me of an episode of the Ministry of Education of Egypt, this should have happened about 30 years ago +/- 10 years:Legit question or not, it is way too easy for the lazy posters to come in here and throw out a question without even reading the last two pages. In most cases the answer will be there because of the other lazy posters. In extreme cases, they might even have to go to the very top right hand side of the page and enter their question in the SEARCH box to find an answer.
The statistical office informed the ministers that 40% of the population in Egypt is illiterate and cannot read or write. The Ministry of Education saw a need for action and started a large-scale poster campaign with the words "Dear illiterate people: learn to read and write!". At the next report from the statistical office, the minisers found that the percentage of illiterate people had not changed. How ungrateful illiterate people are! One wants to help them, and they don't even notice it. What to do ? Clear ! The number of posters must be increased !
