You want a simple civil answer? Not all questions have simple or civil answers.
What if I were to pose this question to the list:
 
"I want a hive of bees. My neighbour has lots. What is a good way to steal one
of his?"
 
I doubt if that would get any "simple civil" answers. And rightly so!!! I
consider your
original question to be on the same moral level as my example above. So I gave a
"rude" response. You and some others considered it a fair question. Fine. If we
all
agreed on everything this would be one dull list!
 
All this talk about simple answers brings to mind Abraham Lincoln's question:
"Are you still beating your wife?" Come on, simple answer, yes or no.
