This is a classic case of not typing quite what was meant causing
misunderstanding which develops quite accidentally into a slanging
match.  You asked the question 'How do you know that it's still
mounted' when I think what you meant was 'Do you know whether it is
still mounted' or something similar.  This sent the OP down completely
the wrong path.

Though I must admit that is a strange way of phrasing the question,
and appears to imply some sort of incompetence in the OP.

Perhaps you were just having a bad day.
