Cousins' is the VERY BEST example I have ever seen of the kind of standard I would like to see become more common.
1. A direct, non-evasive, specific, responsive answer to a question. (Redundancy shouldn't be excessive, but irony can sometimes lighten things up a bit.) 2. References that lead the reader back to the primary source of the answer or claim made or represented (not necessary for clearly identified OPINIONS, and theoretical foundations would be equally acceptable). 3. Brevity consistent with sufficiency. (Too much to ask on an active listserv, perhaps. Misteaks are to be expected, as should be correctons and rebuttals.) WT PS: Are there more?
