But why google ( which is a Fantastic tool), when we, the GCBC, have such a great network of informative and pleasant friends/roasters.
Why google? Why search the GCBC site before asking?
Because it's the courteous thing to do. Why ask others to engage their brain if I'm not willing to engage my own and do my own research?
I suppose there's the valid reason of publicly asking something that's been covered in depth, since others still in the dark might be reading the thread and multiple light bulbs can go on at once.
However, some members seem to just post and post and post, much of it meaningless drivel. I know we're built on the premise of splitting bags and having fun doing it, and if you know me you know I like having fun in my posts. But when someone appears to have enough time to post all day long with little content in their posts, it would seem reasonable to ask them to do a search. This forum is very good-natured and pleasant, and is a welcome relief to the other forums I read where there are checks and balances because members aren't afraid to call someone out. But the other side of the coin is people stop asking themselves, "Is this post necessary?"
For example, there are way too many posts made in threads which should be handled via PM's. It's just good netiquette to keep the threads open for things that need to be publicly dealt with. "I got my box of beans today, and am roasting tonight." Yeah, so? "Can you add 5lbs. of the ___ instead of the ___?" Do all 1,000 members need to read this?
We should have fun. We do have fun. It can be more fun, with a little common sense and housekeeping.
