Why should we assume that? There are dozens *of* dozens of posts where
it is quite obvious that they have not manned, helped or Googled before
posting. If you have done that already then you would be in the minority
of people posting a question in this newsgroup.

I think that you need to read the 'Smart questions' write up. If you
know how to Google then you can find it :)
