How do you know? Well, you could look at the post "** READ THIS BEFORE
POSTING" which shows up here every day (although I can't imagine why Karl
bothers since it looks like most are too apathetic to open it). Or you could
look at one of the scores of posts that cover your question and continue to
pour in every day. Try one of those and see if you discover the answer...
