I think when people ask theoretical questions, it's usually new people
testing the waters here. They'd like to know if we're all nuts. How far do
these people go, they're wondering. If they go This Far, I'm turning around
and won't be back. However, they're thinking, if these people's views on
the subject allow for safety concerns that concern the poster then they can
relax and listen more. It' seems to be a litmus test. Of course they could
stick around and read longer but I imagine this helps people do just that.

I don't want to have to pass a test for the privilege of helping other people
for free.
If they don't have real questions, they can just read quietly or go somewhere
else, in my personal opinion.

My kids haven't been tested, and I don't feel like being tested. I'm being
open and honest already.

I'm test-resistent. <g>

If I could make a living taking standardized tests, I would have a DAMNED
fine car. But that's not what we're doing here.
