Where to Ask if not Ask Slashdot?

Posted by Cliff on Wednesday September 18, 2002 @01:35AM from the time-for-some-feedback dept.

Rick the Red asks: "It seems that 3/4 of the Ask Slashdot articles are met with "Ask Google" answers. So, where do you go for answers (besides Google)? Advice (besides Dear Abby)? Opinions (besides ePinions)? If you want to know how to network one of those 4-in-1 printers, how do you find someone who's tried it? If you need help with some discontinued merchandise, who do you ask? If your pet project hits a snag, what do you do? Come on, all you "Ask Google" critics, fess up -- where do you think people should turn instead of Ask Slashdot?"

Carolyn Hax instead of Dear Abby! by plsuh · 2002-09-18 04:45 · Score: 1, Offtopic

I found Ann Landers to be OK, but the Washington Post (my local paper) replaced her with Dear Abby (Iguess they had to), whom I've found to be vapid and flat. Thank heavens for a local (but also syndicated and more power to her!) alternative. Carolyn Hax writes the Tell Me About It advice column. It's advice with a hip, edgy attitude, along with some kewl comics to go with it.
