yopo -- sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonate?

Migrated topic.
probably wouldve been just as fast to answer the question... if people only said things that have never been said before there would be very few conversations in this world!
 
It probably would have been faster to frown at your reply and shrug, but here goes nevertheless..

Ahem. Surely filling in the forum search form would have been faster than to write a complaint that you are not being spoonfed fast enough?

By the way, have you read the Attitude Page yet? Here is a bit from the section titled "Critical thinking and basic autonomy":

Also one should do basic research before asking and saying things, we do not want to spoon-feed answers. The FAQ and WIKI, the Nexus search function and Google are basic tools everybody should use and should already help prevent the repetition of topics, that conversion remains superficial and that members have to repetitively respond by pointing to the obvious.
Apart from the reasons outlined in the above quote, I personally feel that spoonfeeding people too much robs them of the opportunity to seek out and digest the information themselves. While that may appear to be more work, it opens up the possibility for deeper learning and seeing broader patterns.
 
i appreciate your perspective, however there is so much information when using the search tool that it can be daunting to find what you are looking for... furthermore this is the faq section... perhaps my question is frequent, but i've certainly chosen the proper forum for it. anyway, dont answer if you dont want to. but i dont see what you've got to prove. a friendly question deserves a friendly response

oh, i forgot. its the internet.

At least there is a bunch of relevant links in the thread. It might be helpful to anyone doing an actual search instead of demanding to be spoonfed.
Damn, I should have even read the thread contents, or remembered having done so! :lol:

I just got the impression muppeteer won't be back. Is that even a problem? I see both sides of most coins and one thing I know - if there's a hole on the one side, there's always a hole on the other one, too.
