<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2922670, member: 71723&quot;]Precisely, which is why I am a <b><i>MAJOR</i></b> critic of Internet-based research, and especially the &quot;link please&quot; culture. I&#039;ve now worked in government service of two types for a total of 13 years, and in <b><i>BOTH CASES</i></b>, we are/were outright forbidden to put most of our best stuff online. People who think they&#039;re replacing good old documentary research, such as &quot;docket diving&quot;, with web searches, frankly <b><i>DESERVE</i></b> the bad reputations they&#039;re spinning toward.</p><p><br /></p><p>And most of the research I now do also isn&#039;t available online and requires me to sometimes travel to county courthouses and do the PA state equivalent of FOIA requests (we call them RTK&#039;s) <b><i>IN PERSON!</i></b></p><p><b><i><br /></i></b></p><p><b><i>The typical government response to FOIA and RTK laws is to make the process so cumbersome, you&#039;ll just give up.</i></b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
