OT - Warnock\'s Dilemma
 
I was reading "Wired" magazine (OCT 2001 issue), and the jargon column mentioned "Warnock's Dilemma". It reminded me of someone's comment on this forum months ago. Basically, the Dilemma is "The act of choosing whether the lack of response to a discussion-list post is because of its brilliance (there's nothing to add) or because of its stupidity (it doesn't deserve comment). Named for Brian Warnock, who first described the condition on a Perl list.
