I’ve always been a “lurker” on all platforms and communities because when I do have a question or would like to contribute my first thought has become:

Actually, let me google it first

In which case I’ll usually have some answer. Usually it isn’t a complete answer but enough for me to not want to share my question anymore.

    At my work we usually debate ad nauseam until one, both, or all of us suddenly remember that we have all the wealth of mankind’s knowledge at our finger tips and then we Google.

    …then we inevitably complain about the lack of internet in our office, agree to disagree and then forget what we were discussing as we move onto another debatable topic.

      I came out of lurking because you took the words out of my mouth. You have technical leads saying the words “best practice”, yet when you ask for a documented reference, suddenly there’s no time to go into the detail and we move on to the next issue resolving nothing.
