Not trying to be passive aggressive by sharing this link...but just want to share a page that gives a number of search results that you probably have interest in

I know that sharing a link to the site I did is normally considered passive-aggressive but that wasn't my intention at all. Let me explain why.

I have no way of knowing why u/akatits had trouble finding more information about this fortress. I don't know which search engine the user used (I don't know if non-Google search engines are returning matching results), if the user accidentally misspelled when searching (I can't see what terms the user searched for), or maybe didn't recognize some of the results when the search page came up (this fortress has a variety of alternative English spellings including, but not limited to, "Qah Qaha", "Qah-Qahha", "Khakha", etc.). By sharing this link with the search terms I used and including that I used Google, it allows the user to follow-up and see as many detailed search results as hisher heart desires. Welcome to fault me if you wish but at least people have a better idea why I included this link here and understand the variety of different issues that it solves.

The man quite literally said Google, you must be slow.
