Already taken to heart.  I saw her question before an answer was posted, and
purposefully did not answer it.

It took a little bit longer to post a message than the search.  Whether or
not someone is computer savvy or not, if you can check email, you can search
the web.  A search with the word "Anthrocon" brings a listing of Anthrocon's
web page, and before you even have to goto AC's website, it states that it
is located in Pittsburgh in the listing.  So if someone only wanted to know
what city is was located in, then it would be even quicker.  And yes, people
with slower modems would take longer time.

Going off of the fact that Nebula chose to send an email about it instead of
searching online, it would be feasible to assume that she did not follow the
links Laphin offered, and instead waited for Xoa's response.  Also feasibly
assuming she replied to the email when she was done reading it, it took her
31 minutes to get a response.  This would have taken significantly more time
to get an answer than if she would have looked it up herself.

Added to the fact that in her sarcastic reply to Laphin, it shows that she
already knows how to search the internet.

And my response was not to help the question asked.  It was to voice my
disgust in pointless questions that are posted in mailing lists (and forums)
that there is no obvious good reason for them to be asked.
