It's no fun if someone tells you what to do.

# how about,
"waste threads" instead?
(I helped save b3ta! icezebra *insert large monkey*, Mon 1 Sep 2003, 16:56, archived)
# equally clear
as proverbial mud... you have to explain WHY, including what means a thread's been wasted.

and as there's really no such thing as a wasted thread, then you have to put up with us telling you so afterwards

# i am,
when i go into shops and ask for help.
(I helped save b3ta! bananaman, Mon 1 Sep 2003, 16:55, archived)
# but thats what shop assistants are for
the hint is in the job name
(I helped save b3ta! The Incredible... accident free since, Mon 1 Sep 2003, 16:56, archived)
# A hopelessly inaccurate job name
in my experience.

# they assist the shop,
not the customers. or something.

# that's how it comes over though
even though it was a request...

most places call that "commisioning," and it usually costs money

# OK maybe that was badly worded
but people want to make their own ideas, they can't be bothered to do stuff because someone asked them to.
