As someone who utilizes search engines a lot to find answers, I sometimes get irritated with people who ask questions without having done any research themselves. Even people in my own office.

I recently read here on Meta that links to lmgtfy are taboo, and I can certainly understand why, even if it's crossed my mind to post like that.

But how close to the line am I getting when I post an answer like this? Is this too close to answering, "lmgtfy", or is the trick on how you word it?
