I saw Brendan's original post also.  From his question it was clear he
had not RTFM.  I thought of telling him to do this, but refrained in a
(rare) moment of diplomacy.  Brendan obviously did read the manual (as
he should have before posting his silly question here) and
subsequently responded to my non-posting by abusing me (and others).
What should we do in future?

May I suggest that an appropriate standard response to all future
posts by Brendan should be: RTFM
