Ba-doo-boom-ching! :-) Are you deflecting?

Yes, I realize that (it would be a perfectly satisfactory way to spark internal dialogue in someone, perhaps to even prompt a debate) but it sounds like a rather therepeutic response (in the first case), or even only a researchers tool (in the second) - just not really "administrative" that's all, and so not as useful on this specific board, in my opinion. It wasn't my intention to say that questions couldn't also be "less than straightforward", just that they weren't as *definitive* as plain statements. As a suggestion, you could always make a concrete statement about your administrative opinion when asked for an administrativeve response, *and then* finish off with a question or two, just so you would be saying something definitive - best of both worlds maybe? I do think your questions-only responses could fit in in an interesting way on the other boards though - Psychology, or Social perhaps?
You're a slippery one :)
