get off my nuts. thanks.First off it is not a matter of not knowing something so someone instead C&Ps the information, it is just faster and simpler and gives far more complete of a response to C&P factual proven information instead of typing some short incomplete answer someone words themselves.
Another answer to that would be over the many years I have spent on numerous similar sites I have found that very many people refuse to accept things when put in a short version someone words themself and many people tend to argue the information but when given a full detailed explanation from a valid reliable source more people tend to believe it, accept it and not bother to attempt to argue against it.
 
So instead of putting something into your own words (meaning the poster and not you) that is detailed and because of that also long it is vastly easier and quicker to C&P the full information than it is to type it all out yourself.
 
What could be added to that is since a handful of questions are asked here almost every single day and sometimes over periods of time they will be asked every single day and even worse on some days they will be asked two, three or more times having a ready answer to C&P only makes sense.
 
Well it is that or just ignore them and leave them to those who will not tell them all there is to know and all else they might need to know that does go hand in hand with what they asked and instead not bother to explain why something works or happens because they prefer to word something themselves that only take maybe three or five lines to attempt to explain what actually would take many, many more lines to adequately explain in full.
