First you suggest he should read how to post a question, but his question is perfectly well formed and properly formatted.

Next you suggest he SuperSearch for pipes, but his question has as much to do with pipes as it does fork. Both are required to describe problem, but neither are the direct cause of the problem that he clearly describes.

Next, when challenged, you point to a random selection of pipe related posts, none of which has anything to do with the question asked.

And finally, you resort to that other hoary ol' cheshnut. It looks like homework.

Hint: The answer to the question isn't posted anywhere on PM.

So twonk, like that other guy said, if you don't know the answer, just shut up.
