- The original poster asked a yes or no question, and then asked for
- a date. You have not answered either question, and have then gone
- on to answer question(s) that were not asked. You guessed the poster
- had a fairly specific but unstated underlying motivation for asking
- about mercury fillings. And you may very well be correct. But why not
- give people the benefit of the doubt and just answer questions as they
- are asked, and then answer more questions as the 'conversation'
- progresses? Suppose the poster had completely different reasons
- for asking about mercury fillings?
