Dr. Hsiung,
You wrote,[...it {might} be easier for others if they didn't need to read as many sucessive clarifications...they can ask...].
But do you approve of someone posting a post after 3 posts, automatically, without asking a question,as Dinah has written, just so that 4 consecutive posts do not appear? If so,then someone did not ask for clarification, but just posted in order for me to continue, right?
If it might be easier, could it also be that it might {not} make it any easier for others to read ? And are the goals of the forum to make all things {easier}? Would not support and education be a higher priority?
For instance, I posted a series about the use of profanity. The end result contributed to the support of the forum and even one poster wrote something like that they appreciated that series about how profanity was not protected in the concept of {freedom of speech}. There was , at least, one other series that another commented on that they appreciated the education that arrouse out of the series.
And on the same point here, when more than three consecutive posts appear, it is not that the poster is writing that he/she is requiering that others not post, right?
