I know how I found this site, oh so many years ago, but what I don't understand is how can someone who doesn't display even the most rudimentary search skills find it?

Then, after finding it, demand that we do their research (homework) for them?????

Then again, on the other hand, what the hell compels us to do their work for them?

Are we victims of the "Cowbird syndrome"? Could it be that I have coined a new phrase?

Cowbird syndrome. I like it!

A similar phrase I have heard before:

Cuckoo Syndrome: Feed me, help me, I'm too weak... this plea continues until you drop dead from helping them.

cuckoo - a bird that lays its eggs in other birds nests so that the surrogate parents raise the offspring, owing to their parental instincts -often leading to the parent birds death from exhaustion.

I googled the phrase to get these definitions and now I cannot remember where I got them. Credit for these definitions should be extended... I would if I could remember. Say, if somebody can help me find these...

Well, this is a perfect example of cross-pollination.

I didn't know about the cuckoo syndrome before this.

Unfortunately, Cuckoo or Cowbird or idiot poster, they all suck the life out of their benefactors.
