Show an example of something you tried that didn't work, for example. Also note that the research isn't applicable to every single question. When I see a question I'll know if a simple google search will yield a good answer. If it would, I know the OP didn't bother, so I'll say "what research have you done" because I know if they try at all they'll answer their own question. If I know the answer won't be found on Google I won't bother to ask. | |
