Sigh...I think you missed the point that while you did give the url, you
not only made a snide comment about it, but missed the point that the
guy asked about cobalt and chat.  While a lot of us could assume that
cobalt and IRC would find something, a simple explanation of how to search
might have been more help.

But, in the interest of brevity, you didn't go into that...which is fine,
but you didn't need to be snide....which I believe other folks have
pointed out about some of your posts.

I'm willing to admit that you may be right in your approach.  When classes
resume after Easter I think I'll answer questions in a similar fashion.
I'll let you know whether it appears to be an effective teaching tool.
