Do people still read books anymore?

Heck, most new Vanagon owners can't be bothered even to use a forum Search
function or do a bit of Googling, and instead immediately toss their
question up on an internet forum. As Scott says, often they haven't even
exercised a bit of critical thinking and done the courtesy of a few
fundamental diagnostics to help those who they're seeking help from.

The 'hive mind' of our collective knowledge is a powerful thing, but when
more of us take more from it than we contribute, well ... we run out. Like
the penny dish at the gas station checkout counter.
