   In this case, my question, quoted above, is trying to gauge the   
   educational level of the recipient of an answer.  Too much effort   
   may be required to bring the recipient to elementary school level.   
      
   Instead of seeking such information, so that an informed answer   
   could be formulated, I suppose I should simply ask the impolite   
   question: "Where you born stupid, or did you have to work at?"
