If your question is worth asking, it's worth posting.

If it’s not worth posting you should have done a search on http://www.google.com/ http://www.google.com/grphp?hl=en&tab=wg&q= or http://news.google.com/froogle?hl=en&tab=nf&ned=us&q= before wasting our time.

If I sound hostile or arrogant you need to read the following before posting a question "How To Ask Questions The Smart Way" at http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html (The site I've linked to just has this article I think people should read before posting a technical question.)
