Tim Bray: When you’re explaining something to somebody and they don’t get it, that’s not their problem, it’s your problem; When someone’s explaining something to you and you’re not getting it, it’s not your problem, it’s their problem [ via Sam Ruby]

Hmm. I disagree:

When you’re explaining something to somebody and they don’t get it, that’s not their problem, it’s your problem; When someone’s explaining something to you and you’re not getting it, that's not their problem, it's your problem. You're not asking the right questions.
