This reminds me of the old adage - give a man a fish and he will eat for a
day, teach him how to fish and he will eat for a lifetime. As long as you seek
only yes/no answers, you will always be asking yes/no questions. If you take
the time to learn, soon you will be answering your own questions.
To each his own, I guess, but for me, I prefer to gain a little more
understanding along with the answers. If I don't have at least a little
understanding, how can I be sure of the answers? Take the word of someone I
don't know, who may be doing nothing more than passing on a yes/no answer he
got from someone else?
There are several folks on this list who take the time to provide the
rationale behind their answers, and for me, it is these folks who make the
list worth while (I do enjoy the off topic bantor, though, but it wouldn't
have to be an MG list for that).
Soap box mode off.
