I stopped asking interesting questions here once I realized that the pool of people paying attention was minute. And even amongst those, how few give answer. Some part of that is my responsibility. Another part is the habits that hold sway in this medium, many of which are tedious, insipid, and contagious. But if I find people eager and hungry for learning, as I am, I will ask many questions again. For I am always asking them in silence, and what you see in my updates often relates directly to that activity.
