1062.0. "Questions and Answers -- FSNO" by JARETH::EDP (Always mount a scratch monkey.) Thu Mar 29 1990 08:06

    This topic is for straightforward, honest questions and answers.  Like
    other "restricted" topics, compliance is voluntary.  You are on your
    honor to be direct and sincere when entering notes in this topic.

    Each response in this topic should contain either questions or answers,
    but not both.

    Any questions should be straightforward requests for information.  As a
    matter of honor, the author should not be seeking to prove a point or
    make insinuations with their questions.

    Any answers should be direct answers to questions and should be
    straightforward.  Authors should try to give information.  Sarcasm is
    definitely prohibited, and politicking should be avoided.

    The information yielded in the answers to a question can be taken to
    other topics for discussion or discussed in the topic following this
    one, which is for general discussion of the notes in this topic.

    People should recognize that other people are different, and they
    should accept that their impression of an author's intent or motivation
    may not be what the author actually intends.  Therefore, questions
    should be taken at immediate face value and answered directly and
    honestly or not at all.

Gee, I don't know whether this is a coincidence or not, but this type of topic 
always seems to appear when -edp's around........

Well, I've always been interested in science,  and when I was in grade school,
the first thing we always learned was that scientists observed everything, and
then made hypotheses from their observations......

I guess it's the scientific method at work....

1062.9Hey, I thought it was a good idea!CASEY::SMITHThu Mar 29 1990 18:1513
    Who'da thought I'd ever "defend" -edp?  Well, folks, he *did* bring up
    this string in the Processing Topic and I, for one, asked him *there*
    why he had raised it as a Processing Topic issue rather than going
    ahead and entering it as a note!!  Heaven help me if I encouraged the
    poor guy to do that and get beat up on!  *I* was hoping that some of
    his questions that irriate the heck out of me in *other* strings could
    be referred here.  Then if and when someone has the energy to provide
    the additional information -edp says he is seeking, *that* exchange
    could occur here.
    
    Good Grief,

    Re .10:
    
    "FSNO" is for "For Straightforward Notes Only".
    
    
    Re .1:
    
    The most direct cause for me entering this note was the sequence of
    notes 1019.78, .91, and .93.  I asked some questions and got accused of
    dishonesty -- and it has happened several times.  It is very
    frustrating, both because I feel unjustly accused and because I don't
    get answers to the questions I ask.  This topic is an attempt to change
    that.

    re:.9
    
    OK, that's why I couldn't figure out what this topic was all about.
    Whenever my NEXT UNSEEN hits the "Processing" topic, I usually make
    it through only three or four replies before hit my tolerance
    threshold and go on to the next topic.
