    what about in a blog comment?

    does that count?

    how are the exams going?

    does it extend to four questions?

    : P

    That is so true.

    Get out more.

    I can’t get out more. I’d love to, but I’ve got exams, see? All I can do is sit around and post shite on my blog revise really hard.

    So I did a little field rsearch. Since my job is 88% emails I started including 2 questions in as many as possible (keep in mind how much I LOVE my job) and the results are in:

    35% answer one question
    17% answer both and in a useful way
    15% answer neither
    13% think they are answering your questions, but are actually talking c**p.
    9% answer both partically and then ask one or more back
    7% don’t answer at all
    4% are to stupid to read and don’t count

    I hate them all.
