    Lol! You have zero clue. I’m close to the opposite of the on line spectrum. I learned how to be informed in the old days, when we were taught his to read and research.

    When I don’t know something, I look it up. In discussion forums, I read the other comments before making my own, usually. If someone tells me I’m wrong, I go see what shows up elsewhere on the topic. Most importantly, I’m not immediately condescending or insulting.

        Okay, I’ll bite. Other than going to a full-featured library, or contacting the nearest university with expertise on the desired topic, what does count as research for a layperson?

          Other than…getting an expert opinion or reading the research material they published? You excluded research to ask me what research is

            Oooooh, I miss understood thought you were asking me what research is. You wanted me to do the work for you. Yeah, no. If you are older than 12, you should already know how to do that. If you don’t care enough to do it, that’s on you. I did.
