So it seems ok for someone to answer a question to use google Should someone post an answer when all they did was Google Fu?

But if a user does not use google the question is closed (eg)

http://serverfault.com/questions/723754/sql-server-2014-enterprise-edition-is-consuming-too-much-ram-i-need-to-limit-it

I don't disagree that its pretty simple to answer, I disagree that the close reason is (essentially) " your question is poorly worded" when what we need is an answer that says (essentially) " you lazy bug, it took you longer to type this question than for me to search for the answer, go away".

I'm ok with the premise that basic research should be done, but IMHO we should pick a consistent stance, its either ok to google for the user and post or there should be a close option telling the user to search.
