Hi :) Yes, i was one of the respondants. If i had thought it serious or "leading somewhere" in anyway at all then i would have carefully avoided responding. At a guess i'm not the only respondant thinking that way.
I think a few answers, such as Tom C's, are interesting because it kinda shows what we were talking about in another recent thread. Even people who don't have aspergers often exhibit signs of it often due to their expertise in a particular area. Also if there seem to be rules some of us feel compelled to rebel (such as Gavin's response being in order but not giving percentages) or do so accidentally. I think it is helping because it helps us understand what kind of level of expertise we can expect from certain posters. So when i try to answer questions about Calc, or Base there are clearly limits on how much i understand or have stumbled through myself. it's part of why i try to stick to "waggle the wires" and generic answers rather than diving into specifics and why i drop questions once they start getting expert answers (or at least better ones than i am likely to be able to help with).
