Just asking if it is OK or not
-
A bit late to ask for permission to ask, when you have asked in the question asking permission to ask. I have to ask: why?

He did not ask. He asked if he had the permission of asking, which, I ask you, is not a behaviour that demands asking.

To ask you to vote for a friend of mine that is participating in public voting event for environmental project Green Innovation Award?
Not really no as that would be asking us to collude in vote rigging. What you could do is post a link to all of the projects that are up for this award and let us decide which one, if any, we would wish to vote for. That way, if your friends project really is the best one, we might vote for it.

No Yes ;)
Yes? So I can OK

:confused: Yes or No
Neither "Yes" or "No" is an answer to "Why?"

What's in it for me? Do we get prizes too :-D

I can't speak for anyone else, but I don't think that is OK, even if it is very common these days. Competitions should be won on merit, not on popularity of the contenders and their friends or on their skill at spamming random strangers. If you must try to recruit us to go voting, just tell us where to vote, not who to vote for. Just my 2¢
What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.

Indeed: his question was "May I ask a question?", to which the only rational reply is "You did". In his case, he asks for permission to ask, the asking of which ask that which he wishes to ask, asking the question: "why ask?"

I'd do that: 1. Make a post about the project and what your friend is doing exactly, and why you think this is worth supporting in your opinion. 2. Add "And to those who think this project deserves support, they can even vote for it !" Everybody needs a little push sometimes[^]. And I notice we are again discussing about how to ask and not be flamed ... :sigh:

OK will do as you suggested :thumbsup: I hope no one will report me for doing what you recommended me to do

No.
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

What's in it for me? Do we get prizes too :-D

Sure every environmental project is a win win for all human if we care for the environment ;)

I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

I was only asking for asking, not really to ask. You may ask, why ? And you would be right, this asks for more questions !

I was not surrending, I was expressing my inner swiss part of neutrality.

That works if you are Swiss, if a Frenchman says that everyone thinks about "surrender" at first, not "neutrality".

I feel the need to say that a lot of people think that I'm Croatian or Serbian, even though I'm 100% Swiss. I don't mind it in general, but I hate it when they start speaking serb-croatian to me and I don't get a single word.
