Do you think that it's absolutely ridiculous when people ask what 4 + 4 is when they can count themselves?

This question, and its ilk, came up on Ask from time to time. I even asked a similar one myself, when I was new there. Eventually I worked it out. I think. :-/

A lot of the people, mostly kids, who join these sites want to join in the fun but aren't quite sure how to do it, so they ask questions that they could easily answer themselves just to be part of the group. No big deal... :)

It took me a while to work it out, Tyto. Of course, I could be completely wrong. :(

And Rooster: I know that COPA is US legislation and that this site is based in the UK. Are there universal laws restricting minors(well, mini-minors, I suppose) on the Net, or do we just use our own judgement?

Same laws apply to this site as well, Didge. Mainly because there are so many here from the U.S.

Oh yes. They know how to count so why ask online when they went to elementary school?

Oh my God, YES!!!! Sometimes, I just want to snap back at them and tell them to not ask such stupid questions. Everyone knows how to count to 10, 20, or maybe even 30! But this is annoying. It really is. I wish people wouldn't troll around online. . . . It bothers me greatly.
