 * when using the ‘posts_request’ hook in a plugin, what is the best way to determine
   if the function has been called by the front-end or by the manage posts page 
   in admin ?
 * Thanx

 * I think the solution is if you have say
    `add_filter('posts_request','myfunction');`
 * and you do not want your function to have any effects when posts are listed in
   e.g. Manage > Posts
 *     ```
       function myfunction() {
       	global $wp_query;
       	if(!$wp_query->is_admin) {
               // do front-end stuff here
       ```
