What do you mean by 'spot checking'? *wrinkles forehead*
The situation I'm talking about is when something like this happens.
Member x makes a thread about how they can't find their favortite purple jellybeans any more at the store just down the street, and the world hates them"
Then, a bunch of people post and say "oh hey, you can order them from xxxx website" or "I live near you, and this other store a couple of miles away still has them".
However, the OP is like "Oh it's too far to drive, I miss my jelly beans so much, I can't live without them" or keeps coming up with excuses why there are no other solutions that will work, but keeps complaining.
In those cases I think the OP wants sympathy rather than actual advice, and I've seen several threads deleted when posters give advice but don't offer a lot of sympathy.
