you author "It is absurd that anyone would ask for second-hand "information" based on someone's distant and very possibly biased memory, when the current information is directly available" People don't have biased memory, People remember what they remember. What they remember is biased by the way they think. People are biased thinkers. Bias can be good or bad. There are the biases of caution, consideration, kindness, honesty, integrity. Then there are the biases of the way you think as expressed in all your posts the hardover beliefs that you and only you know it all. You say >>>That, or the person is incredibly lazy. I say your proffer is incredibly stupid. I believe incredibly lazy is a driving force that leads to advances in productivity. When I find someone who is informed and has the proper bias in thinking I will seek all preprocessed information that saves me time. I am incredibly lazy and that's why I have ten or 100 times the information processing ability in my computer over almost everyone else. tom watson tosiwmee
