And it's for people who feel lost when it comes to finding an address that I've created a guide to help people find addresses.
Like I've said, I've posted that guide to help people, and it answers the question that was asked.
My problem isn't that the question was asked. I welcome the opportunity to further educate people on how they can find addresses. It's why I created that guide on my time in the first place, and update it with every reference source I find as I find them.
My problem is that after I provided a link that shows one how best to find an address online without using a pay site, the OP proceeded to have what I can only perceive as a hissy fit temper tantrum, because I didn't do all the work to find the addresses myself.
The OP, as you said, posted here looking for help on how to find an address. I responded by providing websites to check and words to Google (also referred to as "help to find an address"). The OP decided to flip out and compare that to the Nazi regime, because I didn't look up addresses I wouldn't use when:
a) they're equally capable
b) they know where to look and what to look for (I know that's the case because I provided them with a step by step guide on the subject)
c) they want to the use the address
They also proceeded to ignore every relevant question asked and my willingness to further explain how best they can find an address in favor of (again) attacking me and my advice, because I didn't give them an address on a silver platter.
