Actually it sounds more than harsh. If everyone had acess to a "decent academic library" it probably wouldn't be, but many don't have access to a decent library. I've seen and experienced faculity members asking for research materials to present in their courses where I live. Some universities have sold part of the library resources reducing their libraries to a tenth of what it had been. The city I'm living in is a captial city but again unfortunately not all countries have readily available resources. Hopefully those who complain about questions will never have to ask anyone a question about anything - including being in a foreign country and wanting to know how the system works. Remember this list is International. Now if you excuse me I'm going back to enjoy the discussion on slow motion.
