• xenforo has sucessfully updated our forum software last night. Howevr, that has returned many templates to stock formats which MAY be missing some previous functionality. It has also fixed some boroken templates Ive taken offline. Reat assured, we are working on getting our templates back to normal, but will take a few days. Im working top down, so best bet is to stick with the default templates as I work thru them.

Bear with me guys this will be long - admins feel fee to move but way down deep this is about Q. I saw an avatar in a post recently that I thought my son-inlaw would like - didn't snag it and could not find the post. Went thru the member list and found it (a spinning ring). I was amazed at how many people have signed up and never posted.

I just what to shout up to these people;

We are dealing with an inexact science

We are dealing with inexact devices

Anyone could have information that the rest of us would love to have.

I had an English prof at UT in "Engineering Writing" who put what you could write about into 3 categories fact, opinion, and judgement.

Fact is something that can be proven by science...
Opinion is just what one person believes
Judgment is a considered decision given some facts and some unknowns but is a most valid and valuable thing.

OK how does this relate to Q

Fact - Pork is done at 170 degrees
Opinon - "Rice sucks" and "Bury it in the back yard"
Judgement - 3-2-1 verses no foil for Q

What I am saying is that we see posts of all these things all the time (is the SPAM poll fact or opinon?) and are better for it.

So I would like to see even more facts, advice(judgements), or opinons(BS) from even more people that do it now

Slight error in last post with my SPAM example

Should have been posed as a killer final exam question in that class

SPAM is good - Is that a fact, an opinon, or a judgement?

AND, what is rational for your answer.
