7. Thanks for the link

What happens is, someone will bring something up in a thread, so I'll run a quick search on it and provide a link, and no sooner than I do, someone immediately gets all huffy and condescending toward me for bothering with "old news."

Either way, just because one smart ass knows it doesn't mean everyone does.
