Win Treese, my friend and colleague, said about
a decade ago approximately this: "On the Internet,
no one will answer your questions; you can ask
but nothing will happen.  If, however, you make
a false claim, people will come out of the woodwork
to tell you why you are wrong.  The art, then, of
asking a question on the Internet is to make a 
false claim the corrections to which approximate
the answer to the question that no one would answer
if you asked it as a question."

Q.E.D.
