    Asking questions without answering them yourself

    Is it a norm to ask a lot of questions that are fluff or passing the time type questions without answering them yourself?

    Examples:

    “What Is Your Most Valuable Business Asset Right Now? “ By Lee
    “Here's An Interesting Question About Sponsor Programs... “ By Lee
    “Other Than 'Porn' What Other Incomes Do You Have?” – By Lee

    Yet no response to the question with your OWN feelings or Answers to the topics.

    Why is that?

    Can't speak for Lee, but I'd think it was to spur discussion on those topics, to gain an insight into what others would feel on the issue, and if you answer your own question, why ask it? :coffeecup: Just my 2 cents though.

    why ask it?

    how about to get to know the posters on the board and to help us get to know each other better? and if you ask lee, he'll always tell you. i've asked him back on several threads and he seemed happy to respond.

    Oh and you will also note they are business related, in order for a question to have the best answers, you really shouldnt give people options to agree with an answer that has already been made.

    For example, do you like coffee to?

    You have 2 possible answers to that question, yes or no, a whole thread full of 'yes' or 'no' answers doesnt really help anyone get to know anyone better.

    By asking an open question, 'what are your thoughts about' you get a much wider range of answers that can be discussed by everyone in the community.

    Regards,

    Lee

    Lee,

    I fully understand you don't want to Tant the results with your own propaganda but at some point a follow-up would be nice.

    http://forums.gaywidewebmasters.com/...ad.php?t=18427 - the 3rd question I mentioned - you didn't answer and it would have been a better rounded question if you also offered an insight to your non-porn business matters

    IE: How else do you make money? Myself, I also run a printing company and shop at yard sales for eBay auction items

    This lets me know that my answers are not just for a "I need something else to do so I'll ask what other people do and see what I can make money at.

    Who knows... I'm still learning

    Basschick: "how about to get to know the posters on the board"

    Likewise - How about getting to know the board host? Was it not lee who just posted today about CP and Theft from another forum and "Get to know your board host?"

    It kind of seems like politics to me. Never say your own feelings so no one can hold you to 'em

    I said 'i know we have a few more daytraders / realtors' which, to me, indicates that is what i do outside the adult industry.

    I guess it depends on how you read the first post in a thread ultimately.

    Regards,

    Lee

    You consider those fluff? Interesting.

    Lee's 'view', or stance, is, more often than not, more than apparent, at least to some of us --- he 's provided answers for most (if not all) of the questions he posed to us.

    IdolKnights- Why ask it?
    'cause he wants to know if we'd 'hit it'?

    Um, maybe it's to see how other's gear turn.
    Oooo ... maybe it is to help segreg8 'them' from 'us' - so to form a clique. Just me reaching, or maybe th@’s my attempt @ being an ass.

    Lee's purpose for posting his thought &/or conversation provoking threads/questions is an easy one (for me) to understand ... to get a response on the subject. (Just guessing, Lee - sorry if th@ is wrong.)

    Now th@ th@ is out of the way: what is your purpose for posting/posing this question, about Lee's intention, to me/us ?

    I've already assumed th@ you have formed an opinion, and are interested in hearing what the others have to ... HEY, WAIT A MINUTE, how dare you! This is a lot like something Lee would do ... post text with the intent to initiate a conversation, for the purpose of receiving a response to..
    *slapping forehead*
    EUREKA ... you ARE LEE? (This sounds like something only Lee would do - ask what our thoughts are - so you MUST be Lee!)

    Looks to me like you, too, are merely waiting for other to agree, or disagree, with you.
    Am I not correct?

    Blink...

    Not everyone who visits this board, are seasoned professionals, but new folks, who may want to hear the sage advice from the old schoolers.

    To think otherwise would be narcissism at its worst. Wouldn't you agree?

    Myself Included!

    I would just like to ALSO hear from Lee his answer on the subject!

    I don't down the questions. But see them as "fluff" when they look to be asked simply for boardcount ++ :rain:
