MODERATORS
Not everything is about taking the easy path in life. Sometimes you want interactions. Analog experiences. Maybe they tried those things and didn't get satisfactory answers, or not personal enough.
I don't question why someone asks a question. People have their reasons. Ask not, know naught.
I would say that's the opposite of the easy path compared to the current approach, but I can respect the rest.
I'm sorry what?
What are you saying is harder than what?
Going in search of info is harder than asking for it to come to you imho.
So why did you ask OP if it wouldn't be easier to do so?
Poor choice of words on my part. Should've said better.
And what do you mean by "better" which you've now put instead? Define better? What is the purpose of OP's question, really? How do you quantify its metrics?
You seem to be looking for conflict, I don't see a good reason to oblige. Have a nice day.
I'm not, I'm just trying to understand what you really wanted to accomplish with your comment. Was it to actually help, or to sound smart? Genuinely curious.
Because you say now that your alternative, which is supposedly "better", is actually harder, whereas first you called it easier. Why is harder better?
I'm not looking for conflict, it just seems like you tried to do something here and are backwards constructing.
I want to give you the benefit of the doubt because I want to believe people give advice here for better purposes than sounding smart, that's all. ๐
