Semantics

True. True.

I have always encouraged the "disservice" you speak of because I look toward the conclusion and the catalyst offered.

I wouldn't want to discourage it, per se, but I am in greater understanding than before. Maybe I'll be of more service because of the AHA. It's hard to tell though. Perhaps it will result in me receiving more service. That's all up to me though, isn't it?

I'm not talking about discouraging it. It is really one of the main ways 'anyone gets anything out of the participation'. Just that that also, bares some reflection before posting. The idea is that by distilling the thought, you have a 'more pure' offering. Curiously, the considered thought is necessarily more of what you meant in the first place. All new thoughts start as apprehensions or vague notions. What we can honestly say about it, transforming it from a mere apprehension or vague notion to something carrying more learning potential, is the service.
