No.

Firstly: My response shows that there are abundant answers, which is a
nicer answer to receive than no answer at all.

Secondly: I didn't see the point in RE-WRITING all that has been said
on the subject before, and I couldn't be sure that somebody else would
be willing to do the same too (I figured it was a good idea to supply
at least one response).

Thirdly: Seriously, at least do some googling first.
