Zing number two....wanna go for a hat trick?
No but seriously. Ya, that would be a concrete statement, though it could maybe make you seem like a less than efficient administrator or something. I just assumed that you knew the rules the best(since you created them) and that you'd be able to answer questions by knowing that stuff. But you know what they say about those who assume - *flick on the head* for me. To be fair, you're no better than us, and have every right to need to ask for input before you understand something more.....and are *then* able to say something definite.
But for the times that you intervene in a thread to say something, I'd hope that you'd do so through having a *working knowledge* of the situation and an administrative or personal opinion already *somewhat formed* -- at least enough to be able to give something more to the questions that could be relevant to it, and the rules that could potentially apply.
But you can contine giving answers in question form. I don't care much anymore anyways. My desire to learn about how this board faciliates answer-giving has kinda been exhausted in this little two-step. [which is fine. I'm not in a place to debate anymore now anyways] I didn't get all the responses I was hoping for, but I got some. Which is better than nothing, and so satisfying.
focused on something else now
but thanks for the back and forth,
ELps. Feel free to go for #3 though - promise the net will be empty :-)
