[QUOTE="IcyCool, post: 3446111, member: 20308"] Agreed. It also has very little to do with my comment. Perhaps you missed the comment of yours that I responded to? I had gathered. Actually, I had to look up "obtuse", because I couldn't think of any other definition other than "angle" at the time. That's where I noticed that it also means "lacking insight" or "lacking intellectual acuity". I couldn't tell from your tone if you were being insulting, or playing with the word. Being cutesy, if you will. At any rate, that confusion is now past, and hopefully you will see that I was addressing your comment about being frustrated with people who dismiss the FAQ. No, it wasn't a dig. I didn't say "people are just trying to follow the [b]rules[/b]" (implying that you weren't following any rules), I said they were "trying to follow the [b]rule[/b]" (specifically referring to the primary source rule). You stated that you were getting tired of people dismissing the FAQ. I suggested a way to get what you seemed to want, people to stop dismissing the FAQ. I did not state or imply that you don't follow the [b]rules[/b]. Agreed. And the primary source rule doesn't take effect unless the FAQ disagrees with a primary source. As has been pointed out [b]in this case[/b], the FAQ doesn't make a "ruling", it makes a suggestion. So if someone were to ask, "What is the official ruling on this issue", we should state that there isn't an official ruling, but the FAQ has a good/bad suggestion on the matter. [/QUOTE]
