I am totally unconnected to the WKPP, but time and again its members 
have responded to my questions with valuable information.  I don't
find it at all difficult to sort out the information I need from the
information I don't need, and I have a hard time understanding why 
some individuals seem to.  The bottom line is that I want to learn,
and I adapt my listening skills to whomever is speaking.

Someone who wants to teach would also do well to adapt their speaking
skills to whomever is listening.  Nevertheless, as a "listener" I am
acutely aware of the fact that nobody owes me anything and that any
complaints one might make about a speaker failing to adhere to this 
approach are therefore both ineffective and unwarranted.

If you don't want to listen/learn that's your business, but please
stop trying to squelch people who have information to share that a 
lot of us want and need to know.
