The quality of the presentation may not be directly proportional to the quality of the data and the conclusions.

conclusions ?

feel free to use it if you think it will get an answer .. who was it again ? Gavin?

I have a feeling Gavin's eight, so he might have to get permission before you get a retort

im sure the return picture of something in crayon will be worth the wait

conclusions ?

In general, I wasn't talking about that specific PDF.

I think the way things are presented is not the most important. I even read your posts.

No, I'm sure I didn't read them, I was only looking for that specific photo.

Sometimes they are even harder to understand, images posted without an explanation of what was the reason for being posted only add to the confusion.

Not more than the usual.

I don't know, I wasn't the one posting it.

The way I see it, this is not a photoblog or an image gallery, if people want other people to discuss something the best way is saying what they want and start talking about it, just posting images doesn't help the discussion.

don't you think it looks like a micro pyramid ?

given that its less than a couple of hundred feet tall

I do, but I also think expecting other people to understand what you mean without making an effort shows laziness and may even be considered as lack of respect to other members, as it may sound like they have the obligation of knowing what you mean while you have no obligation to help them understand.

I thought ide explained this, if I wanted affirmation on what I see why would I tell you what I see.. kind of backwards to do otherwise really.. if it was a new thread and an opening post. maybe some explanation is required

a picture with the caption what do you think of this .. well in an ongoing anomalies thread .. quite sufficient

hard to find any other simile for this one though

*a stethoscope wielding microfunbox uncorks a bottle of cough'omid allsneeze sauce and places next to the assorted pickled organs*

as for respecting other members.. where's that come from? if people ask me for re-explanation I give it 9/10

take you for example .. would you  like to know how many times ive had to re-explain myself to yourself?



isn't this old hat?..

Sufficient if everybody knows what the other person is talking about, and although in this case the "micro pyramid" was obvious, it's not always like that, and I was talking in general terms, not about that specific photo.

I suppose I see a collaborative place like a forum in a different way, as I don't think people should have to ask for explanations, the member posting the information should give enough information so anyone reading his/her posts could use that information for whatever purposes they wanted.

Why do you think most of my posts are answering other people?
