Silke:  *But yeah, I've seen it where people got shot down in flames when trying to ask a question, and anyone who sees a response like that isn't likely to ask.. anything.
*So have I.

This thread was inspired by a new thread where the author had not actually been shot down in flames, but clearly expected to be shot down in flames.
