Questions+and+answers

This here is a space for you to ask questions you may have and answer those that others might have.

Basic rules:

Understand, don't judge- before you begin writing any kind of answer, be sure you understand the question asked- before you comment on an answer, be sure you   understand what is being said.

Be generous- make the effort to see what is interesting and positive in each other's questions, comments, and answers

Be clear- try to write as clearly and simply as possible, AND try to be thorough. It's difficult, be so is everything that's interesting and rewarding.

Don't be afraid - ask the questions that you have without worrying about what others will think of you. There are no stupid questions (there are, however, questions that are entirely out of place. Asking anyone here where your sock are, or what time the bus to beijing leaves, is not a dumb question, but it doesn't really have its place here- unless you can convince me otherwise, of course).
