If I did that I probably wouldn't bother asking here. But you get an answer more tailored to fit what you're looking for here, and you can ask followup questions.

No, my questions provide time sinks for people all around the world. I see it as my civic duty.

generally i'll try to look it up first, but if its something i want the opinion of others on, i may not or, like someone ele said, if its a specific or tailored question, i might not.

Yeah, if the question is something obvious you'll end up being convinced that you can shove an AM2 CPU into a 939 socket just by cutting pins so people can laugh at you.

This is not a yes or no question so I didn't vote.

Depends on what my question is about. Are you new?

Hey Pont, I googled before posting so piss off.
