I always try to answer any question I can when someone needs an answer, but being a new and limited Mac user, I find myself mostly asking questions. I hope to change that one day, but as of now, I'm an asker.

What about all of you?

Different areas of knowledge, different roles.

If the topic happens to be language, I’m rarely the asker (usually more the guy who keeps yapping on and on, impossible to shut up ).

If the topic is, say, carpentry, I’d be almost one hundred per cent certain to be the asker, since I know next to nothing about carpentry.

If the topic is politics, I’m usually neither: I’m the one sitting in the corner, sleeping.

Here and on most power user computer topics, I'm an answerer or silent (as I try to figure it out myself).

I was actually talking about Mac related problems of any sort, but okay.

What sort of languages do you mean? Computer languages? Languages of the tongue?

I'd have to agree with you on politics. It just doesn't interest me.


Now I have a question. Is there a way to center the poll on the screen? Another instance of me being an asker...

Ah, sorry, misread your post—I thought you were being existentialist

Mostly the spoken ones (I do like dabbling with computer languages, but I’m not very good at those—I am a complete and utter grammar freak, though).

Don’t think so—the results appear to the right of the options once you’ve voted, so that wouldn’t really make sense.

i not a total grammer freek i just dont like when people type like thiss

And I'm pretty impressed with this forum. Most people type the right way. Does that have anything to do with us being Mac users? ...

It does look a lot better after you've voted and the results are on the right, but its otherwise all on the left and looks a little weird.
