In reply to WHERE is the rule to ask something only once?, posted by Janelle on April 5, 2002, at 0:09:35
If by this you mean asking the same question again, because it was not answered or not satisfactorily answered, then I think it's OK.
I've asked a few questions that never got answered or people used my questions as a "launching platform" to talk about what they want to talk about anyway.
Sometimes questions get unanswered because there is a huge surge in the volume of activity and your question gets "lost in the sauce".
Anyway, when that happens to me, I just ask it again, maybe phrasing the question a little differently to try to solicit the exact information I was looking for.
People still have the choice of not answering if they don’t want to.
> I can't find any reference to there being a rule/guideline that you can only ask someone something ONCE. Where is this mentioned? Thanks.
