>>I'm really tired of the very basic knitting questions I get off my website--it's a daily thing now to get one or two emails that could be answered by looking in ANY knitting book.<<
It's the nature of the beast. If there's a site devoted to a craft, newbies are going to find it. Once they find it, since it's a topic that interests them, they think that it's ok to ask basic questions. Otherwise, why would the site exist? (Their question, not mine.) OTOH, it's difficult to find fault with the ones who have been told to 'use the internet' to find the answer to their question. When they find the information, and ask a question, inevitably it's the one question that gets asked 100 times a month. If they'd done a little archive reading, they'd find the answer to their question. But if they were internet savvy, they'd know to do that already. So <peering over your shoulder> what will you do about it? Once you find an answer, don't forget to post it. There are hundreds of other people who would like to stop fielding the basic questions. wrnk d2 This is only my opinion, but I believe the internet is helping to raise a generation of people who are either ignorant when it comes to finding something in a library or book store; or who are too lazy to make the effort to find the information themselves.
