Subject: RE: On not knowing chords - and not helping
Asking questions here is also a way of entering into the Mudcat music community, even if the answer to the question is available elsewhere.

Research, whether on-line or in a library is a skill at which some are better than others, or which is easier for a person already knowledgeable who is familiar with the kinds of search terms or websites where the answer might be found through a search engine inquiry. As long as I have been on Mudcat, I can find it very difficult to find what I am looking for, even when I know it is here.

A significant number of the top "hits" on Google when one searches for lyrics, chords or tabs are junk sites that promise much but rarely deliver, overwhelm with You are the 100,000th visitor, click here to win your prize or Download ringtones, then don't have what you are looking for. Many of these sites also set off security warnings. It takes time and experience to learn which sites to avoid as potentially malicious or as likely unproductive.

All that aside, why take the opportunity to belittle some one just because you can?
