I know what you mean, but I will post answers giving the results via google, and suggesting they use it in future - normally with the text
a simple search using your question subject as the search term found... At least this way, they get a response and answer instead of silence, and get the idea that laziness is not encouraged. Without being rude, of course. Most of the time...

If you could take a look at the answers that i have given then you would know that i haven't given answers just for the points.

Just along for the ride.

You could get an MVP certificate, and a special user icon on CP.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

They are gone again. Here. I got an email about a comment to my answer, then I checked and there was no comment. I then posted a comment in reply to my own answer, and at that point I was able to see the other comment, and I then replied to that other comment. After I clicked the permalink for the question, I could no longer see any comments.

FYI, I got an email with your "completely pointless comment", but I can't see it in the browser.

Ok,
So I was reading the Oat Meal's "State of the Web", and inbetween laughing so hard I couldn't see stright and picking myself back up off the floor, I happened to notice that he's offered up the use of his "Tumble Beasts" icons, he originally created for Tumblr.

They do kind of look like little green Hamsters, which led me to post this suggestion: Chris, you need to hook up with this guy and have him do up some CP Hamsters.
Just a thought.

Could we move the Profile popup to the left of the member name? That way it won't almost obscure the name / link and make it difficult to get to the member details. At the moment a right click tends to bring up the image related menu rather than the link related if I don't think about what I am doing.

To me, what was depressing was to see all those otherwise smart people fall for it and reply with sarcasm and ridicule under the assumption that they were responding to a drip who was asking for romantic advice in the wrong forum.

Yes, I found that amazing too, as I had to sift through all the replies to see if someone had sussed him, and it was sad to see how many hadn't. 
|
|
|
|

I did the same, I read every reply to see if at least one person had identified the spamming. Nope, not a single one.
