John A Right On - What IT really is

Google. That is something that more people should use, instead of turning to forums like DaniWeb first, clogging up everything. Google is the website you should turn first when you have a problem, because chances are that someone else has had a very similar problem.

Why don't people do it? I rarely post questions on forums, because I can usually find the answers via Google. When I do, it's because I've exhausted all the other possibilities.

Google is also useful for answering questions. I can usually find the answer for someone, even if I have never heard of it before, by just using Google. It also helps reinforce what I already know.

I know Google will not always have the answer, so that's when you post to a forum. And not before searching the forum first. It's amazing what you can find if you do a little homework first.
