Let Me Hear Your Voice

Why you may keep the question to yourself,
1.
2.

3.

May be you asked it already and got an answer (but you arent
satisfied).
May be you feel you should know the answer (but you dont).
May be you think everyone else understands what was said
(they probably dont).

Remember,

The Only Stupid Question is the OneYou

Dont Ask
