Never make an assumption… because you’ll be an ass, and the -tion will -ump- you…
no but seriously folks, i’ve notices a slew of assumptuous threads… some of which have a latent affect of being tediously annoying to readers and posters…
a big part of philosophy and logic is being able to explain the reasons that back up your statements.
if it is you’re opinion you would like to share, perhaps posting in the mundane babble or rant house is your best option… thanks 4 ur timez.

I agree that one should never assume what another means  If one is unsure, ask them: don’t bloody assume anything if you have nothing to base it on…
