Just that in this case, the person asking should *know* how often the 
question has been asked before. It is basic Usenet ettiquette to first 
search for answers (on the web, for faqs, in the archive) before asking, 
for this very reason. It is really hard to miss the answer in this case, 
if you try to look for them. People still asking such questions are 
violating important ettiquette, in fact, I would call *them* rude.

What, if there was a big, fat sign with the answer in the middle of the 
store? If you still ask a seller, he mught just point you to the sign. 
Especially, if it's a dumping price store who earns almost nothing from 
individual customers.
