<a href="/users/4319/jamesgpete/">@jamesgpete</a> - You hit the nail on the head. Part of what you are asking about, is where, when, and with whom you should speak!!!

Great Answer, Thanks!!!

If we are giong Legal no only ask the question if I already knew the answer, but on this site yes I would !

Usually not.

However, this brings up an appropriate and parallel question. They say, within the world of trial lawyers, never to ask a question you don't already know the answer to! The courtroom, as we all know from watching courtroom dramas on TV, is an adversarial contest and a grand bit of theatre, with strict rules to play by.

So, my dear counselor, I ask what is the context of your question? If it is try to put yourself in the shoes of "Another", to have empathy, then I say fine. No further cross examination. But if it is to subtly assume the coat of the philosopher, nay the prophet, I say excellent. Not just good advice in the form of a question, a humbling. Who has not failed, and often, to think of the other before blurting?
