Nov 1, 2012 at 13:20 comment added Patricia Hersh @Jim: that's a good point. It was easy for me to imagine someone might need this in a lemma in a paper, but it would have been better if I'd asked the OP first in a comment what the context of the question was rather than answering straight away. I've heard of one grad student getting in a lot of trouble for asking homework questions here at MO -- so many people look at this site regularly that I would think there'd be a serious danger for such a student of getting caught.
