Wisdom of the Ancients (on googling errors)

There's also a hilarious variation when you google for an error, the first result is a thread on stackoverflow, and it's closed. The only reply being a mod's assertion that the question has been answered elsewhere. And then you're left digging around SO for what feel like hours, looking for this mythical answer. Sometimes in vain.

On a lighter note, kudos to the SO mods who go to the trouble of posting a link to a thread with answers when they close a duplicate. If one of you is reading this, know that you rock. Please hit the ones who don't follow your example around the head with a large blunt object. Thank you.
