interesting experiment.

[Janina Sajka]

Actually, the things I'm referring to are not hard things.

When someone says "where do I find emacspeak," that's not a hard
thing to search for. 

Simply go to Google, put that one word, emacspeak, in the search
field and press enter.

Now, is that too hard for people here?

That's the kind of laziness I'm talking about.

If it's truly laziness, than I'm chidding.

If it's ignorance, then you've been informed.

PS: Google means:

http://www.google.com
