The "Ask Beaker" thread.

Yes it is

No it is not an answer - you just expressed your hope that does not answer my question. Either say yes or no, or admit that you don't have an answer, in which case this thread should be closed and thus never reach 1000 posts since it will be obvious that you can't answer even simple questions. On the other hand if you answer yes people should stop posting in this thread to prove that you are no oracle.

So what's your answer?

Got ya! Everyone he said no, so lets post here quick to reach 1000 posts very quickly, this will prove him wrong and therefore make all his other answers suspect
