You know what I hate? I hate it when posters get all in your face

with questions, then when you provide answers that make sense, crickets. It is almost as bad as ambitious yogurt or slut-shaming the chosen candidate. I may take a break soon and read fiction. At least I will know it is made up when I start.

When you have the facts down cold, often people just go away.

I appreciate learning the true facts, instead of operating from half ignorance.

that many posters do not read replies at all, and many more do not read replies carefully, but rely on the titles of posts to "understand" the posts' contents. If I have something important to say, like the answer to an explicit question, I find it helps to create a new thread, with the requested information in the title line.

As soon as I go check out SCE & the alway wonderful LOLcats, I'm taking a break from DU & NPR news. I am loading up the CD player and going to read fiction too.
