susie_floDear whistling, humming colleague... seriously, STFU!
Dear question-askers on the internet....
a) I know "JFGI" is an annoying answer, but could you at least TRY to google something before phrasing your question?
b) If someone takes the time to give you a long and helpful reply, how about actually reading it and then saying thanks?
c) Seriously, would you also like your shoes polished while you wait?
d) Is a 600-post thread about a detailed aspect of subject "X" really the best place to ask "Hey everybody, what is X?"
Dear question-responders on the internet...
a) If you don't know the answer, why bother replying?
b) If you do know the answer, but don't feel like sharing it, why bother replying?
c) If you don't understand/care about the topic of the thread, why bother replying?
d) If your only goal is to snipe "JFGI" at someone, why bother replying?*
e) If you are one of those who takes the time to offer well-considered replies to half-witted ingrates, may Karma bless you!

* G pointed out earlier that tech forums are often the worst culprits for knee-jerk "JFGI" responses, with the responders not factoring in that high profile forum threads such as these are the precise result of people "googling it".
