@Run5k if you think that is an insult than you just proved my point. I'm done here.

@Run5k this is focusing way to much on the question I gave as an example. I am talking in general terms, not this specific user. But as typical on this site, people read, but dont comprehend.

@Run5k I have never noticed it and I would say im fairly "prominent." and I still say it doesnt matter.

@Run5k also, by downvoting this user for lack of effort, new users wont know that. all they will see is a user being downvoted for asking a simple question

@Run5k One could make the argument its hard to know what to search for if you dont know anything about it. And in the case of this particular user, even if he is known for a lack of research, then that should be a comment. His lack of effort should not be a reflection of the question itself. The same question could be asked by someone who knows nothing about computers.
