Thank you. This is a helpful style of posting: reading it, I can easily tell what your point is. If I didn’t know this already, I would come away better informed. > if jatin does not 'elucidate', i would not blame him. why should he write > something that he has given you a link to read to find out what you need to > know? I understand that he gave the link for general information. That’s great, and also very helpful. It would also be helpful in response to a specific question. But if you send someone to a self-styled “university” front page to make one point – how are we supposed to know which point the poster is trying to make? Yes, we can read the site, and also come away better informed – but it’s a lot of work for *all* readers, when the poster could summarize and save everybody else’s time. So I was trying to make sure there wasn’t a point that needed to be clarified.
