My members do that also, "Do a search!", without even knowing whether they did or not.

Just my .02

Agreed.

If someone can take the time to reply with "Search on this", they should back up the fact that the search would actually be helpful by posting a link.

It's the nature of the internet unfortunately. Sometimes people just like to be rude to one another. :\ For a perfect example of threads that make me say "My goodness, what a bunch of jerks", take a look at some of the comments in Danny.VBT's myspace hack thread. It's full of people with no code experience insulting him because their free, beta hack isn't working/finished/etc. It's disgraceful.

And since we're playing the honesty game, I cannot understand why this is tolerated at all:
