I’m an asker, but I’m not going to waste my day asking everyone for $1,000 because I know it’s unlikely anyone will.
“Asking” is for things you don’t already know the answer to, and “no” or “I don’t know” are acceptable answers.
>I know it’s unlikely
That sounds like something a guesser would say. I'm only going to ask for something I'm already likely to get (going back to the original MetaFilter thread).
> That sounds like something a guesser would say.
No, it’s something anyone who wasn’t born yesterday would say.
