In this case, the question and all answers will enter community mode, as will any future answers. * A moderator has reason to believe that the question serves better in community wiki mode. > <i>* note that the rules outlined above are based on observations; the actual behavior of SO is subject to change without notice, and may well have done so since this was last updated...</i>
