Yes, I DID take the user into account. That is why I put forth the method of
finding a file that will give him the best results to finding a file, ANY
FILE in the most situations. I do NOT want to give him a method that may
FAIL on his next search. One day you will understand the best way to
educate people is to teach them a basic tool that will give them the best,
most accurate results, then teach them the commands that

Ahhh, again, do not address valid points only to attack spelling!!! Have any
VALID POINTS regarding _what_ I said?

Buzz, WRONG! You were the one that suggested whereis and locate, I just
pointed out what what wrong with the method YOU posted. What I don't
uderstand is how you can say that what *I* posted "represents the worst way
to locate something" when it was YOU that suggested the methods of location
I was demonstrating!!!!! The method I provided the OP WILL indeed find
his file for him _*AND*_ it will work with EVERY OTHER SEARCH for a file he
needs to do. The methods you provided will NOT work for every other search
he tries, as I have demonstated in my examples and you IGNORE!!! Even you
say they "represents the worst way to locate something". Now, please try
and back up your claims with SOMETHING!!!

Ignore that which you disagree with. Bash spelling rather than the points
made. If you have a VALID point to make about the SUBJECT make it WITH
SOMETHING TO SUPPORT YOUR CLAIM.
The compalint about "find" is it is slow.
the compalint about "whereis" and "locate" is they are inaccurate or
imprecise.
I will give the slow accurate and precise over fast and inaccurate to a
person that is just learning EVERY TIME.
So, go ahead and ignore the points I made and bitch about spelling, if you
can't actually ADDRESS THE ISSUES I RAISED! I expect no better from you.
