Blunty,
I agree. It seems to me that any youngster who has half a brain will conduct a time benefit analysis and realise that a succinct question will possibly draw him more information in far less time than it would take him to trawl through hours of regurgitated same old, same old.
What they don't count on though, are the legions of dullards who seem to only live for the chance to show the fresh meat ruddy well what for.
