When you really think about it, EVERY question people post on here is something they could solve by hiring the right programmer....but who can't spare a few seconds for even a stupid, lazy person?

After hundreds and hundreds of such encounters, I'm of the opinion keszlers approach is best (and cavacs too), spend those few seconds to ask for minimum effort , and wait to see if the OP plays along; its no fun to play by yourself.

It appears the OP in this thread is willing to play along, and that is very nice; I can't wait to see how it ends.
