Interesting ... I besides an appeal not to explicitly advertise one's services, I don't recall any agreement or "terms" as to what this forum should, or shouldn't be ... in fact, the word "forum" suggests a community where many forms of interaction occur
Personally, I appreciate nearly all types of responses to posters' solicitations for answers, including a bit of sarcasm, when appropriate ... of course, "when appropriate" is left up to interpretation, but a dose of sarcasm is an alternate, sometimes humorous approach to someone who simply wants to side-step having to actually work for a class assignment ... or, for a "consultant" who is scrambling to answer a question he been hired to resolve as a supposed "expert"
So if we do away with anything resembling human interaction (including comedy, sarcasm, heated debate, etc.) then this turns into nothing more than a question-and-answer venue ... big deal, there's search engines, reference books, and technical support centers for boring crap like that
Would have preferred to email you this message, Fount, but since you're an anonymous poster, I guess that isn't mature ... oops ... I meant to type "I guess that isn't 'possible'" ... sorry for the typo ... what was it we're discussing? Immaturity? I wonder what the "psychoanalysis forum" would say about immaturity and anonymous posters.
