I would like to take this opportunity to coin Levitt's Inevitable
Appearance of Obstinacy, which I will rename and refine at the first
possible opportunity:

The future search ranking of your reply to an FAQ is directly proportional
to the level of righteous indignation in that reply - and inversely
proportional to the long-term usefulness of any remaining content.

Which is to say: In three years, someone is going to come looking through
the archives for information about GUI toolkits, and all they're going to
find is a bunch of posts saying "Geez, if you search, you'd find the
answer!"

Luckily, you did not trigger the Corollary, which states:

The presence of a suggested Google search URL in the reply guarantees its
future placement as the top search result for those very terms.
