Thoughts?

It has become customary for people to solicit feedback on ideas with “thoughts?” but I find it to be a bit lazy, obnoxious, and ineffective at times.

I realize that Tweets sometimes require statements to be truncated, but I don’t believe the same limitations exist in many other places…

My grouchiness on the topic aside, the best way to get an unhelpful answer is by not asking a specific question. Asking a the right question puts you halfway to the answer that you seek.
