I ask questions all the time but I don't always get an answer. When we were all on Twitter, I'd ask questions when I didn't understand. Too many Anons were smug and wouldn't even answer questions. I guess they liked knowing what was going on but liked it even more when they could keep others of us in the dark. They felt superior - oh, hell, I'll just say it - they were ARROGANT. Having said that, I have a question and statement to make that correlate:

Want to be a good leader?
Answer honest questions knowing there was a time when YOU didn't know, either.

Instead of saying, "Do your own research", GIVE THEM A LINK AS A STARTING POINT. They may not know where to start! Point them in the right direction. Be gracious and humble.

This is not directed at you, Doq. One person I am thinking of is quite a figure amongst Anons but I stopped following her when she consistently ignored people's questions. Sometimes I was the one who had to answer a question someone had asked her.
