The issue is that the answer can usually be found in either the rule book or case book without a great degree of effort being involved either. And that's how you learn the rules. You sureasheck aren't learning 'em just by asking questions here and copying the answers that you're given. In that case the student isn't really learning a damn thing.

The idea is to put a little time and effort into learning the rules. I might have put more time and effort into looking up the correct rules citation than the OP did in posting his question. Jmo but you should post questions after you fail to find them in the book(s).

My apologies to surehands if he did try to look up the answers first......
