Yes, thank you, I have heard of the internet

So help me, if one more person sees the flyer for our FIV stray and sees fit to use the contact information there to lecture me about things anyone who's spent five minutes with a decent search engine already knows, I'm going to... become extremely impolite.
The most recent one even had the gall to tell me "there's lots of information on Google." Because of course anyone who's spent hours designing a professional-quality flyer and distributing it all over town couldn't possibly have spent that aforementioned five minutes already. (Also, information is on the internet, not on Google. Google is a search engine. If you're going to be a pedantic busybody, at least do it right.)
I sincerely hope all these people are someday in the position of advertising for something they badly need, and they get lots of texts that start with the equivalent of "I saw your flyer about Nelson..." only to find that it's not the offer they've been desperately hoping for, but just another arrogant know-it-all assuming they're a moron who hasn't bothered to find out anything about the problem they're trying to solve.
Tl;dr: people suck.
