let me know what is wrong with this

The general idea is that people should have been reading and searching for answers before they post questions.

If they already did, they might be a little bit annoyed by some wise guy "artificial intelligence" telling them to look somewhere they already looked... but that's not the biggest problem.

It would rather be challenging to devise the artificial intelligence to understand somemonk's request in the way it was meant. See, that's hard to do for people, it will take a lot of effort to make a machine that wise and insightful.

Next thing, if the search takes too long, it might scare the poster away - he might find the process too tiresome.

I find your post intriguing though, but I did not think it worth a vote - yet =)

Maybe you might spend time to narrow in on how PM should be able to "answer questions in advance" ... right, I am getting carried away now.

Cheers, Sören

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
