There is nothing dishonest about engaging others in conversation, it is a give and take.
The idea that it is false behavior to have some social graces is both myopic and untrue.
There is something childish and egocentric about expecting to be told if a source is GTG in your first post, then stamping you feet and throwing a temper tantrum for 19 more post when you don't get your way.
If all the information is online (most of which is wrong) and you don't need anybody to help, why would you post in a social forum the above question in the first place?
