[QUOTE="Thornir Alekeg, post: 1831983, member: 15651"] I've done this on occasion, sometimes I just read things too fast and others I jump to an incorrect conclusion, I shall stive to achieve perfection. Of course sometimes the poster is not clear about what they were saying and only upon clarification you realize what they were really looking for. Well, that may be pride, or it may go back to #2 Short and simple can be good - complex questions do not always need complex answers. Wrong, well perhaps the respondent did not know they were wrong, they will learn when others inevitably point it out to them. I usually post on breaks from work without access to resources, so mistakes are made. I have not noticed this, and I am fairly new and have no credentials whatsoever expect that I play D&D It happens a lot, but I see message boards much like a conversation; many times the topic changes as the conversation continues and evolves. Usually if the inital question has not been addressed I find that someone tries to get it back on track. OK, I did this just to cheese you off, sorry, :heh: but I think this is often a good way to be sure that people understand what parts of a post you are responding to, especially if it ends up on a different page from the post being responded to.
