Message: [QUOTE="Alan J. Flavell, post: 4802638"] Spending my time and effort reading followups that I can't understand - because they're blurting out an answer to one point, - quoting and citing nothing - and when one takes the trouble to refer to the complete preceding post in the thread it's *still* impossible to work out which point they're addressing; and ploughing through a whole series of postings in which well-intentioned usenauts are trying to educate GG posters to make themselves comprehensible, without having much to say about the topic in hand; does not make for a "vibrant and thriving community" in my world-view, I'm afraid.
