Would telling posters “Make Google your friend…” be a good idea?
Is Super User really doing so well in terms of question quality that it can afford this? When it's enough to enter a question's title into Google and a perfect answer to the question is among the top 3 results, it shouldn't have been asked here. In that scenario, by having it asked here, you're actually polluting search results and diverting attention away from the canonical resource.

trigger happy moderators deleting answers for no reason
@vartec well. Under normal circumstances the deletion would have been totally unjustified - yours was a viable answer. But in a busy question, moderators are expected to be on guard to keep it from turning into a complete crapfest. If, in order to do that, they set the rule that one-liners are going to be removed, and you post a one-liner, it's clear what's going to happen. It's so easy to pad an answer with a bit of meaningful information to avoid this - if you're active on any of the SO sites, you know how it's done.

@vartec I can see your point to some extent, but why not post an improved answer then instead of ranting here?
