Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Not just professors, some engineers do that as well as it annoys the hell out of others.
Like, I asked you a detailed question with 3 issues, all numbered and requiring separate feedback and you reply me with "Sounds about right to me".
Like gtfo.
If I ask more than one question, and someone answers one of them, my opinion of their intellect drops considerably. From that point forward I will communicate with them like a child, and written communications will take 5x longer because messages have to be restricted to one question max.
And now you have to pick up your flipped table from the ground.
I had a manager more than once that responded with "y" for affirmative and "I'm ignoring you" was no. One of those guys said if he didn't get back to you in am hour resend or track him down because he didn't read "below the fold" in his inbox (this was when we used email for everything).
That's hilarious... by "below the fold" do you mean anything outside the message preview, example:
Smith, John
Re: Discussion with Client A
If he had to hit "page down" in the Inbox folder to see your email, he wasn't going to see it.
He owned the business and it was right at the tail end of that time when if you wanted a web site you had to deal with some guys who were probably taking you for a ride, didn't care about customer service, and charged based on their mood that day. Having lived through that brief era, I am glad it's in the rear view. I didn't like treating customers like that and did my best to not do so!
Should have used simple "Yes" instead
