>>Wow, I never interpreted it that A posting to B after a DNP request allowed a reply ONLY to that post. I interpreted it as the DNP being rescinded.
Yeah. That's kind of why I tried to write it out here - to see how others were "reading between the lines." I'd rather interpret it your way. Seems like that would just make sense, and tend to prevent the "stringing along" one-sided thing you mentioned.
I dunno.One reason I think A would have to post something explicit, e.g., "it's okay to post to me now," or "I wish to rescind my DNP to me request," like alex said, is because of the way in the FAQ, it immediately states that your request stays in effect until you change your mind.
No need to even say that if by A posting anything to B, your request was automatically rescinded, right?
I'm wondering if this part of the FAQ needs some refining, as I shouldn't have to resort to quite so much reading between the lines and interpretation, maybe...?
But that's just me.
Logic and precise meaning of words I enjoy, but
They often are a bit of a stretch and an effort
As I operate out of intuition and feeling my way
So much more naturally
Not very balanced of an approach IRL, though....
So, thanks for allowing me to try to reason this simple concept out with you guys
Usually I'm far too intimidated to join even the simplest thread like this.
Dumb way to feel, I suppose.
Even though I still swear I'm not stupid ;-)
