    Grant,

    Yes it was homework, but I thank you for taking your time to craft such a gracious (and clear!) answer. Some posters here scorn helping students and I've never liked seeing that here. Thanks again.

    Thank you.

    I'm pretty adverse to answering homework questions too because most of them don't seem to really want to learn & understand. They just want an answer. But, I've taken to answering them in a way that keeps me happy, even if it doesn't quite give them exactly what they want. But you should see some of the responses when you don't spoon feed them. People get quite upset for some reason.

    But you're right to call any of us on bad behavior. We want this place to be welcoming.
