Whenever anyone posts a thread that I don't know the answer to off the top of my head, I select the error message reproduced in their post and use the "Search Google for ..." right click option in my browser. If the user's question happens to be answered in the first page of search results, I then either delete or close the thread, just like I'm going to do now.
Because I figure that if I can spend three minutes searching for an error message in someone else's thread, and reading the search results, than the person who posted the thread definitely could have, and SHOULD have, done that before posting here.
