Detective Dendro, Where are you?

[mrtree]

"What else do you mean when you ask a question, except to get an answer?" a rethorical question might be one. A sentence with multiple phrases (questions) may be to provoke thought not to have each question answered.

As for discussing rates I don't know where you get that, if you think there is antitrust then head to the police to report it.

If you have been paid for an answer then I wonder if you can charge if you do not give one. Guy you are the one that talks about your time, billing and assignments, do you charge a consultation fee to spend time with people? I bet most of the time people are paying you for an answer (or at least that is what they believe they are paying for) rather than your time.

[/ QUOTE ]The truth is they are paying for my knowledge. Even if the answer is "I don't know", it tells them something, and is still worth money. Remember the plumber?
