Forum Laziness

I actively participate in several forums related to interests of mine. On these forums members discuss various topics and share information that benefits most (sometimes). What I don't understand is why some of these people who are clearly competent with the internet are constantly asking for information that a simple one or two word search phrase entered into the search engine would give them the answer they seek.

It would be much easier to get several good answers without the editorial that sometimes accompanies the answer provided by forum members. When they could get the answer faster, with less effort if they just Google it!
