This is a forum.

[Jolan]

which means mazdaspeed isn't lazy or cheating

[jasimp]

Yes he is because he wanted us to do his work for him. Also this thread was moved to this forum by a moderator. It was originally posted in the Coffee House.

[John A]

Not to mention that he posted his email address, requesting people email him privately, violating the "Keep it On-Site" rule. And you might be interested in this section of the "Keep it Organized" rule:

Do not post homework problems expecting a quick answer without showing any effort yourself.

He deserved every bit of negative response he's received in this thread so far.

[Wairaka]

He must be bright he was informed to use the net and find the answers to the questions and thanks to this forum it is one of the resources that he has used. So I wouldn't call it lazy, he found this forum.

[jasimp]

You just added a pointless comment to a thread that was finally resting in its grave. Please do not do that again.

[Jolan]

I agree with Wairaka. This is supposed to be a forum. No need to answer questions straight out but suggestions of how to solve questions are more adequate. After all not all answers are correct.
