A real teacher welcomes all questions because the answering of the questi=
on is
how the teacher hones their craft. It is how they practice.
And just as the novice potter may throw the same simple pot a thousand ti=
mes
before they get it, the teacher may not come up with the right and cleare=
st
answer til they have anwered it many many times. =
If I had the privelege of having the company of Julia Child and water cam=
e up,
I would certainly ask her the correct method to boil it.
And in what type of pot is best...
and whether bottled or tap makes better soup...
and if mineral content affects taste in dishes...
and if water softeners destroyed nutrients...
and if she thought the water in france made any ...
difference in the bake/steaming of a french baquette...
it would not be my first question, though, as she actually covered these
questions in several cookbooks and shows...
who else on earth even THINKS about these detailed things, much less actu=
ally
CARES enough to have an opinion or know the answer?!!
If one has a question, many have a question...and courtesy in newsgroups
dictates both that ALL questions be tolerated and engaged AND that the
petitioner do a little homework. Freedom and responsibility obtains...

Hear hear! There is nothing wrong with pointing out that a little
homework would have done the trick, either with or without the answer,
though supplying an answer would make the response rather more on topic.

Briefly:
It seems appropriate to point out that this is not a newsgroup, that we have
an active moderator. It takes time for the moderator to read and post the
question to the list. The moderator is not paid to do this job. Clayart is
not an inherent right--it functions well, if at all, because it's members
behave responsibly...and because it is funded by the American Ceramic
Society.
People certainly have a right to post on whatever subject they choose, and
ask whatever questions they wish. But if we abuse this right, then it
becomes the responsibility of the moderator to prune the posts.
