You aren't giving anything to help the original poster improve their question. Moreover, it is rude and dismissive, which doesn't belong in this forum. The “how to ask question the smart way” essay is not a blunt instrument for beating people over the head with, and it is brutish to use it that way. Instead, please point out *how* the original poster's question can be improved. -- \ “I think Western civilization is more enlightened precisely | `\ because we have learned how to ignore our religious leaders.” | _o__) —Bill Maher, 2003 | Ben Finney
