I could guess what he probably meant, but I shouldn't have to do that.  Yes,
this is in part to point out a stupidly worded question and to hopefully
teach him to spend 2 seconds and proofread what he wrote next time.

Same thing.  This guy needs to learn to ask what he really wants to know,
and to formulate his questions clearly.  Because he didn't I was hoping he'd
waste one go around of questions.  Unfortuately people like you jump in and
help him anyway, so in the end he gets away with it.  Shame on you.

Note that I did give him a decent answer once he finally asked a reasonable
question.  I almost didn't reply because his reply to me was top posted, but
I let it go to stick with the point that he fixed his question that time.
