Then we learned that if you wanted to get the right answer from people ... all you had to do was confidently post an answer, any answer, especially if it was wrong ... and so many people would jump on you so fast to tell you how stupid you were and give you the right answer.

.... and you also had to tie an onion on your belt which was the style of the time.

I learned to let you all squabble amongst yourselves and get the answer. Since every question is a duplicate, it stands to reason the question I have has already been answered.
