So I’ve dealt with many people like you. Sometimes the point of talking on the Internet is for the other people who come along later to have easy access to information.
Sort of like I hope this will help you help others now or at least the other people who read this will have seen it and it will have had an impact on them.
Knowledge should never be hoarded. It should be friendly given to all.
It also has a neat kind of crowd-sourced verification attached to it.
If someone asks a question, and someone else gives an incorrect answer, chances are good that someone will see that and correct them. If, on the other hand, everyone goes and looks up the answer, some people might get an incorrect answer and have no one to correct it, further disseminating false information.
Obviously this isn’t perfect, and requires that the information is fact-based in the first place, but it’s interesting to think about any time you see someone correct someone else on the internet.
