I shared my experience and a user better than you in every aspect helpfully explained the context I was searching for. It's this "basic communication" thing that non-antisocial living beings use to increase survival odds. Do you need me to explain more than that?

Yes, actually, can you explain how you were unable to successfully perform a search of such basic level that a child could do it ? Something that you clearly STATED you had done. Did you ACTUALLY type those 4 letters into a search engine ?

Or were you perhaps too lazy to actually do so ?

The explanation I'd most like to hear though is why you think pretending to be incompetent is a good thing rather than embarrassing ?

Rhetorical Question, Farley.

You get tons of search results for HSBC but none of mine were about a bank.

Really ? And what search engine were you using, because at a quick test via vpn google in USA, UK, NL, MX, and AU all came up with it as the first option.

Or you could you know type hsbc.com into your browser and immediately work it out from the big "online banking" link in the right corner.

To put it another way, I don't believe you.
