it would have been easier for you to just answer me instead of putting an, admittedly, cool link to a google search that DID NOT end up having the actual meaning of the acronym.

I did find out that is stands for "Player Owned Customs Office" on my own, but it is much easier to just ask on the forums and look for someone to reply.

Next time just answer if you know and pass it by if you do not.

no. it took more effort on my part to google it. i came up with multiple listings for articles concerning "POCO" but no actual explaination of what the acronym stood for. Took longer to drill down and find something that spelled out the acronym.

What was easier for me was to ask here and wait for someone to answer it.

People should stop trying to get other people to research and just help them out and answer their questions if they do have the answer. If not then pass the thread by.

you where not the one that i directed my comment towards. Your link DID have the info i was looking for thank you.

And by the way, if i did not post this question i would never have learned the "LMGTFY" trick

This stands true for more complicated topics, but when you can do a google search for "eve poco" and see your answer, HIGHLIGHTED IN BOLD ACROSS THE ENTIRE FRONT PAGE..... no, we will redirect you to lmgtfy. You seriously "did a quick search on your own"? Give me a break. Can you honestly go to google, type in 'eve poco', and tell me your question was not answered?

I've learned something today: Bing still exists. And as a bonus, it's still ****.

Its a game bro. In real life trust me its all as you say. Take it easy. Your blood pressure is up.

And, as an add to this getting the info easy from someone else doing the leg work fits right into the spirit of this game. This is EVE after all. If i can get ahead from someone else's labor, the more the merrier

When I saw that thread, POCO sounds for me like POp COrn right now.

Awesome, I will just stay here and enjoy the show with my POCO.

Don't worry, I am here to sort out what was not clear.

The OP basically asked a very simple and trivial question. One of the responses highlighted the fact that this type of question could have been avoided by a simple Google search. The now very common way to emphasize this by using the website that slowly animates an actual Google search, you can find it here btw. So the issue is that it may be perceived as a rude way of conveying that you either disapprove of a question or trying to educate someone in the art of fact finding. You appear to belittle the capabilities of a fellow capsuleer, which would explain the subsequent unraveling of emotions in this thread.

So OP-guy now knows the nature of these kinds of rude responses, and the rude-response-author-guy had a moment of insight on the negative social cues involved in let-me-google-that-for-you.

There, situation defused
