Its not so much that simple questions are dinged (most of us can't handle
more than simple questions)...it's when it is apparent that the question was
sent to 4,000+ people without doing at least a minimum of work on their own.

Yes, entering Knowledge Management generates millions of hits. However, only
a novice newbie does research that way. Instead, enter a search term such as
"Knowledge management definition" give the following return with them at the
head of the list:

Seems like a better place to start than "Knowledge management confuses
me...please send me resources."

BTW...in case anyone didn't know...if you enter a term in the search string
preceded by a minus, that term is excluded and if you enclose the term in "
", you get hits where that term is together rather than vicinity.
