"Squids"

The internet has spawned some obnoxious fads in the past. One was people posting "First!" on forum pages. Society squashed that for the most part but there's a new one that begs to have a derogatory name attached to it. I propose "Squids". Like a squid, they throw ink around that makes it harder to find things. In this case the ink is virtual as it's typing on an internet post.

The culprits are those who post responses on question forums like Yahoo Answers telling people they don't know the answer. It's rampant and as Shakespeare might have said, it pisseth me off.

Questioner: "Hi. Does anybody know if a Holly 950 CFM four barrel carburetor power valve provides further enrichment to the main metering system under load (low vacuum) conditions?"

Answerer: "Hmm. Sounds like a car question. Maybe you should look at a book on cars, or take it to somebody who knows about cars. Sometimes people at garages work on cars and they might be able to help. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful."

Questioner: "Thanks for that squidly advice. Really appreciate your help."

Not a rant, a proposed term, method of use for said term and associated course of action to deal with a legitimate problem.

Ok, it's a rant.

PS. The obscuring virtual ink part (the clever part) is Spidermother's.
