Chuckle. You should see what Dr. Bob has told me over the years about not taking things personally. lol. I'd have to be Data from Star Trek TNG.
I hope you don't mind my sticking my nose in, but I've found that when I'm at an impasse with Dr. Bob, it really does help to restate my question, because as likely as not he really doesn't understand what I want from him.
So if it's ok with you, maybe we could bandy about the question until we hit the right combination of words? Is the question "You ask for input, but we don't really see results from our input. You seem to do things that we didn't ask for and not do things that we did ask for? And that leaves us wondering how what we say to you has any impact on you?"
I wasn't entirely sure what you were asking either, to tell the truth, since the original question was asked in a context a while back.
I've always thought it would be nice if Dr. Bob restated the question in a way that he thought it meant, and then asked if that was what was meant. But I guess that's harder to do asynchronously.
Hey. Maybe Dr. Bob could schedule a once a month or once every other month chat in Chat with the posters where things could be discussed real time, and meanings could be teased out synchronously.
