Don’t you think it shows how difficult it is to spread information around when you’re not allowed to do anything but ask questions? ---

Wait, we’re supposed to be spreading information around here? ---

Aren’t we spreading _something_? ---

Yes, but is _information_ really the best way to characterize what we’re spreading? ---

Well, I mean, wouldn’t you like to maintain the pretense that it is? ---
**Author:** ![Cardigan](https://sea3.discourse-cdn.com/straightdope/user_avatar/boards.straightdope.com/cardigan/32/187_2.png) [@Cardigan](https://boards.straightdope.com/u/Cardigan)\ **Post date:** [March 27, 2023, 5:31pm UTC](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/questions-only-thread/911667/5347 "2023-03-27T17:31:16Z")
Sure…I mean, that IS what we’re doing here, right? ---

Yes, what else _could_ we be doing? ---

I dunno, maybe something _useful_ for a change? ---

But then, won’t people expect us to be useful all the time? ---

Hmmm, I wonder if anyone else here has considered that? ---

How about we start with you, did you consider that? ---

Well, can’t you see that the world would certainly consider us to be disseminating very valuable information? ---

What if I admitted I’m having some difficulty in seeing this? ---

Can it be put in the official record that when I first mentioned the idea of spreading information, I didn’t say it had to be valuable? ---

I’d be happy to, but can’t seem to locate the Official Record…anyone know where it is? Alright, who had it last? ---

Wasn’t it inscribed on that coconut that’s been lying out there on the ground near the dumpster just outside the back door?
