I'm sorry Mike. I guess you're right in this instance. Its just that I find
it a bit selfish that very often listers offer to help their friends then
come post questions on these lists essentially turning everyone into their
tech support department when he list never offered to help that unknown
family member. Its one thing when a lister nees help, but its an entirely
different thing when list members volunteer this list to fix their friend's
computers. Also, even though your friend is not very knowledgeable about
computers or Google searches, you are, so if you offer to help it isn't fair
we all get dragged into this. I do agree with you on your point that if all
knew how to use Google we would not need these less. These lists seem to be
essential in the blind community because for the vast number of questions,
they can indeed be answered very quickly with a Google search. It appears
that blind folk like the notion of being a part of a group, so they spend
los of time on these lists. I signed up thinking I was an average computer
user and hoping to learn some new stuff, but it appears I'm answering more
questions than increasing my computer related knowledge. Just my thoughts.

Hi Madison,
That is not true! Google is not always someone's friend & in this case
not!
This person doesn't need the added hassle of the extra pressure of trying
to
figure this thing out. I agree with you that Google has it's place but,
like most people, this person would rather have people inter-action.
After
all, if everyone depended on Google, we wouldn't need these lists', would
we?! I hope this message doesn't sound harsh, because I don't mean it
that
way, I just am trying to make the point that most people aren't
profficient
with searching the internet & prefer communicating with others who have
experience or knowledge of the problems they are having at the moment.
Take
care.
Mike

HI Mike,
I'm pretty certain that just about any question your friend wants to know
about firefox can be answered by by running even the simplest of Google
searches. I hink a better way to help your friend is by teaching that
friend
how to run good Google searches. :) HTH.
