This isn't going into 'debate mode' gsc76. Don't flatter yourself that any of my post was directed at you.
The best forums are the ones that can strike a healthy balance between people doing some of their own homework, overly-repeated subjects, causing members to answer the same questions over an over. When that happens, questions get answered even less. Common sense is all we're asking for.
It was swell of the javaman to provide the links. Don't get sarcastic, of course it was OK to thank him. My question is why was it laid on him to find and copy the links? Wouldn't it have been more helpful for the one with the question to apply the effort, and post something like, "Hey I was wondering what SC/TO stands for, so I did some googling, and for those others who were perhaps wondering the same thing, here's a couple links I found."?
Common sense in the posts, and using the PM system. Is that a lot to ask?
