How are you just going to leave us hanging like that, @STRAITBUGGIN ?

@neekepoo , what can I say to convince you to stick around a bit and see for yourself?

Which 7 fruits made the cut for you, @nossmf ?

How did you miss it? (Wasn't that 2 pages ago?)

nossmf

Which 7 fruits made the cut for you, @nossmf ?

Let's see, we had apples, bananas, oranges, grapes, peaches, pears, cantaloupe and water melon…hmm, which one did I forget when I called it "7-fruit" instead of "8-fruit?"

And where did this rash of response come from? Two full pages to read through in one night, when we've been average 4-5 responses per day for weeks now?

cmsienk

Will you accept two three questions from me?

Let's see, we had apples, bananas, oranges, grapes, peaches, pears, cantaloupe and water melon…hmm, which one did I forget when I called it "7-fruit" instead of "8-fruit?"

1. Is that first run-on thought really a grammatical question?

And where did this rash of response come from?

2. See what happens when one of your "members" has insomnia?

👀 Is @cmsienk calling out @nossmf ? Do you think he’ll see it within the required 1 hour window to make a change?

nossmf

Although I do see this within that magic hour, I refuse to amend anything, because I consider my "run-on thought train" to be equally valid a question as the too-prevalent "do you know" formats which completely defeat the intent of this thread, which is to respond to a question using another question, not simply to post unrelated facts in the form of a Jeopardy question…or am I alone in thinking this way?

cmsienk

Are you surprised to discover that we disagree on one important distinction here?

Is there any mention in the title of this thread -"Can you keep it going AGAIN asking ONLY QUESTIONS?" - that the subsequent question MUST directly respond to the previous question?

Will you concede that, "Do you know that I disagree with you?" is a valid, grammatical question, while "Let's see, we had apples…" is the beginning of a statement?

nossmf

Questions of grammatical technicalities aside, why the sudden resistance to the nature of my response? Have I not posted multiple similarly-phrased responses in the past which did not provoke you in this fashion?

cmsienk

Haven't you ever seen a post from me pointing out other statement-questions? Did those slip past you?

Didn't that one strike me as more egregious than some others?

paperpudding

if we make it too prescriptive do we not put people off posting (me included) ?

after all isnt it just a fun thread?

AdahPotatah2024

I thought it a philosophical thread with the expectation that we ponder aimlessly!:D

JTLifts1983

Oh no, did you just utter a statement??

STRAITBUGGIN

How do you define utter?

cmsienk

How do you define statement?

STRAITBUGGIN

Can you define define please?

cmsienk

Isn't that silly?

STRAITBUGGIN

Yes, but aren’t I silly in general?

cmsienk

Have you always been silly?

STRAITBUGGIN

I think so - what do you think?

Can I "like" this multiple times?

neekepoo

can anyone actually define anything on this thread? Isn’t a definition a statement of sorts?

STRAITBUGGIN

Isn’t a clear definition useful sometimes?

neekepoo

Let's see, we had apples, bananas, oranges, grapes, peaches, pears, cantaloupe and water melon…hmm, which one did I forget when I called it "7-fruit" instead of "8-fruit?"

we’ll now, isn’t that the epitome of pondering? Wouldn’t a sentence, that starts as a statement but rambles off into self questioning, be a philosophical morph? Would anyone agree that, when one ponders, grammatical rules become obsolete, and that self reflection lends itself to run on rambling? HA, am I being to philosophical in my thinking?

neekepoo

wouldn’t a clear definition, albeit useful sometimes, be a moot point on a philosophical, questions only thread?

STRAITBUGGIN

Would you be pleased to hear I agree and am having difficulty following all of the hypothetical questions and scenarios?

neekepoo

Would it be ok to address something different and far more important?
Why do the majority of my posts NOT automatically capitalize the first letter? Is it clear that I am hyper-focused on this? And wouldn’t you know that this particular post DID automatically capitalize the first letter?

STRAITBUGGIN

Is it possible to open a ticket? Could it be a phone setting? Would you believe that I tested it with all three of these sentences?

neekepoo

isn’t it odd that it is only the first sentence in my post that doesn’t capitalize the first letter? Is it weird that I wouldn’t open a ticket simply because I think the anomaly makes me appear quirky? Won’t you be checking each one of my posts now just to see if the first letter is capitalized?
