Sorry about the confusion - everything except the first line of the post wasn't intended to be directed at you in particular.

Quite frankly, there's many posts that I don't answer simply because it has been answered a day or two ago. I get tired of doing the homework for someone else, and I'm not surprised Eric has as well.

It's quite something different if someone says, "We looked and couldn't find ..." or "The rule says [xxx], does that mean ...". Those questions I will look at and will give an opinion if I have one. That not only helps the fellow user, but helps me in my understanding of the rules.

My point was that not all of us have been reading the forums and Q&A all day to be able to think "Oh, I saw that somewhere." If you are tired of answering people then don't answer, there is no need to insult anyone.
