Questions

One of the things we were supposed to do in Michael Day's Intro to Doc Studies was to keep a list of questions.  I never really felt like I had any questions, but I just realized that's because I try to get my questions answered as soon as they come up, so they don't stay questions. 

But I'm in the middle of reading an article and I don't want to forget this question:  Is an abstract part of the article (like an intro) or should the article stand alone, without the abstract.  I'd always assumed it was the later, but the article I am in the middle of seems to assume it's an intro to the paper.  I'll look it up later.

And regarding the concept of questions - as I said, I don't hold onto questions any longer than I have to.  The internet is a wonderful thing - so much factual info can be had so quickly.  Which is why I like deeper questions - puzzles with no obvious answer.  So I don't carry around questions - I get them answered even if I have to talk to people to do it - but I do carry fears.  Lots of fears!  But that's a subject for another day.
