Just trying to be helpful here...
You seem to be trying desperately to miss my point. I am pleased that Craven offered me his citation. Getting the information is one part of it, sure. The other--for me--was checking to see if this guy actually knew what he was talking about. So many people here DON'T. They write things they think or have heard and present them as facts and don't expect to be challenged. Can you see the difference between a claim I make
turning out to be right and my
actually knowing it to be right because I have a factual source for the information which I have consulted and can cite?
And for what it's worth, this being a GROUP discussion, I am not required to limit my questions and reasons for asking them to only those that garner your approval. Were this a private discussion between you and I, that standard might apply. Here it does not. And unless you want to claim you have never asked a specific individual a question here, as opposed to asking the group one, please don't set a standard for me to which you do not hold yourself. Thanks!
