Well if I was asking for suggestions, why would I want a suggestion of
"a Google search found..."?
That is absurd.

You might think so, but, it is very common for people to ask for help
and we find out they didn't even try to do a search. They just wanted
everyone else to narrow it down for them so they wouldn't have to work
too hard.
Apparently then you are a victim of those other lazy people mentioned
above :-)

What is even more absurd is that it apparently didn't occur to you to
use Google to search for *opinions* about products, as well as the
products themselves.
Now, that *is* absurd.

And how did you arrive at that conclusion?
Maybe I wanted more opinions than I found by Googling...you think
maybe that could be the case?

As an earlier post by someone else said, "you didn't say that."
Maybe it could be the case that you should learn from this little
episode that you could do *much* better in how you frame your
questions?
Being explicit is likely to be way more productive than expecting the
rest of us to be mucking findreaders...
HTH, HAND, etc.

Exactly...
The appropriate framing of the question would have been, "I did a search
on this, but couldn't find the types of opinions I was looking for. Does
anyone here have personal experience with this?"
That should have avoided all this intermediate crap...

OK, I should have been more clear. Let's move on.
Now that you all know what I am asking and what actions I have already
taken, let's see just how productive you can be in terms of my
original question.

I think it would better motivate people to help you if you could be
just a bit more condescending than that...

You are correct Dan. It appears he thinks he is "owed" or "entitled" to
direct others in this NG to work for him. Even politicians concede
their error better than he did.

Perhaps, but it wouldn't be the first time that someone asks others to do
their searching work for them.
