Willpage, have you ever heard the saying, "Give a man a fish...?" The OP was asking for a fish and some others just gave him a quick fishing lesson. This site isn't a substitute for reading the rule book. Someone really could have been smart and gave him the rule - just the rule - for every question he had. If you take time to read some threads, questions are asked and answered all the time. But the OP clearly hasn't read the rule book. If he/she has...yeah, good luck.

Amen. You don't learn a thing by reading supplied answers. Or having someone supply you with an exam and it's answers also. :) You learn by looking up the answers. It's impossible to know the rules without putting some work into it. And the answers to all of the questions in the original post are available with a little work. If you don't have an answer <b>after</b> looking in the rule book, then you should be asking questions.

How do you teach someone how to spell?

Send him/her to Hogwarts (or whatever the name is).

Perhaps the whole thing was just one big joke by the OP. But I took the train thing to be just him making fun of the length and wordiness of his own post, kind of along the lines of the train thing being a good fit with all the other "story problems."

But maybe I'm just gullible.

Is that another of those "made up words" (aka neologisms) such as irregardless? Or, maybe you meant "Gulliver"?

If I said yes, and you believed me, what would that make you? :D
