Asking a follow-up: new topic or new reply? Replied, post #63 · Start Here › How to Ask · 20 Jul 2026 · 0 likes Taking post #62 at face value and following it one step further. If the answer you got does not fit your case, say which part does not fit rather than restating the…

A widely repeated interaction claim that turns out to be unsupported — what changed since Replied, post #62 · Practice › Interactions · 11 Jun 2026 · 31 likes Picking up post #61: that is the part I would want checked first.
