OK, you just blew it. This kills even my very lukewarm provisional support for (or lack of opposition to) your questionnaire, Edg. The notion that somebody is a "coward" if they don't answer the questions is precisely what I tried to convey in my previous post is completely unacceptable, as far as I'm concerned. <snip> > I've seen so many folks driven out of this place by > the trolls and the mean spiteful folks who could > care less about being gentle on a newbie that I > think some sort of balancing could be achieve by > giving newbies a primer on what to expect here. Well, now they know they're to be considered cowards if they don't fill out the questionnaire. If I were the newbie, I'd turn tail and run to find a more congenial setting so fast it would make your head swim. >From your post to me: > Do you have questions on the list that you are > uncomfortable with answering for us here -- even > now when we know you so well in so many ways? And now I know the tone of your question was a crock. No, I wouldn't be uncomfortable answering any of the questions. But I'm damned if I'm going to do so in order to keep you from calling me a coward.
