John,
Douglas Bader was brutally blunt but didnt he make an impact in WWII. From his biography one can learn that he had a low tolerance of cretins also.
Before taking part in this Forum is should be compulsory to watch at least a dozen eisodes of:-
Monty Python and the Flying Circus
The Goodies
Fawlty Towers
If you dont get these then give life away
Keep up the good work Moderators

the requests that come thru like
this one. I am not available 24 hours per day to do so (no one is, and
Paul has therefore assigned moderator responsibilities to many around
the globe). Rather than censuring Chris (BTW, he is also a moderator),
we moderators need to take the time to send a rejection notice to those
who send requests such as these. Any question that starts off such as
"tell me everything about.." is much to general to get anywhere the
answer the questioner is seeking. I also can note things that are
politically incorrect in the western world about where these questions
almost invariably come from. Although Chris is very direct and blunt,
his sentiment is common.
Anyway, I propose that moderators take the time to train and redirect the questioner to avoid the need (purceived or otherwise) for these reponses.
