Do you actually bother to read those really long answers.?

You ask something along the lines of how far away is the moon and some swat gives you a 5000 word symposium on extra terrestrial geography with a ten page addendum on the American Space program. I might read the first line, last line and check the profile of someone mad enough to spout all that but really I just can't be bothered can you. The main purpose of asking questions on here is in the faint hope that some wag might provide a two second chuckle before being forgotten forever.
