A number of people are in the habit of posting riddles to the net, with
the question separated from the answer by "^L".  PLEASE DON'T.  This
works with some pagers but not with others.  For example, when I get
a joke like this the ^L clears the screen before I can even glance
at it, and the answer is presented instead.  I have to guess at the
question.  This is annoying as I know it's not a Karnac joke.  To read
jokes like this I have to save them, and then look at them with vi or ul,
a process that is sufficiently time-consuming that I seldom do it.

If you want to keep the reader in suspense, please insert a sufficient 
number of blank lines so that the pager won't display both the question
and answer simultaneously.  Thank you.
