The "just google it" mantra has probably held back quite a lot of interesting conversations and debate

I've always been a "lurker" on all platforms and communities because when I do have a question or would like to contribute my first thought has become:

Actually, let me google it first

In which case I'll usually have some answer. Usually it isn't a complete answer but enough for me to not want to share my question anymore.

Don't ask a question, post a wrong answer to the question you have.

That'll give you many answers.

Of course you can always start by RTFM you lazy sod.

IF your post doesn't get deletet for being obviously wrong. You need a little bit of knowlege in the field your asking in for this method in my experience.
