Does offering to help bring about a colleague's ignominious end count?

And why would I think that?

Don't you guys have the dissipating urge to make a statement?

ignominy
1. Great personal dishonor or humiliation.
2. Shameful or disgraceful action, conduct, or character.

It would behoove me to capitulate! Actually, I really don't care about post count.

..and after 201 pages of posts, you still havn't made the sale! That's not good selling!

How would you improve the selling?

I tend to answer with convoluted questions designed to make them go away and leave me alone?

That's a statement; not a question!

I'm with Variol on that one; just because it looks like a question (due to my injudicious use of interrogative punctuation), does that really justify anyone re-defining the statement as a question?

Isn't it true that by adding the question mark to the end, you're instructing the reader to phrase it as a question, even if, when read literally, it looks like it ought to be a statement?

I guess that proves that Variol's come over to the Dark Side, even if he has the occasional relapse, doesn't it?

Are you sure?

Re: Has there been a question thread before?
 
Why wouldn't I be?

Since we are all asking so many questions, doesn't it make sense that none of us are sure about anything?

That much is certain!
