I'm a total Star Trek geek. Yeah, that's the one. I like Alice better, though. But I thought the green lighting was neat, so I snagged this one for an icon.
1. I think I remember Cyn saying you were tall...and she noticed that about you when she first met you. How tall are you Kev? 2. Nearsighted or farsight? 3. What did you want to be 'when you grew up'..as a kid?
Okay, I'll answer this one. For me to say "good question," means one of two things. Either that I think you came up with a question of high quality, or that I don't know the answer. Actually, the two are related, but unless you know the answer, you may have difficulty ascertaining the quality of the question (unless you feel that any question to which you don't know the answer is a good one).
Which brings us back to your current question. I read it and responded rather quickly, so I didn't get it quite right, which resulted in your confusion. You asked, "Is a judgement of the value of a question a form of answer?" If I were using the phrase "good question" as an indication that I did not know the answer, I would have been answering your question. But I was, in fact, offering my opinion of the question. I don't believe I could be using the phrase to stand for both types of answer. Does that make sense?
Now, having said all that, and thought some more, I feel that one could, in fact, feel that a question for which he did not have an answer was a good question.
1) If X-o'clock is what time it is when an elephant sits on your watch, and Y-o'clock is the time that the watchmaker's shop closes, and you've got to get back home before Z-o'clock to watch Supermarket Sweep, when must you leave your house if the watchmaker's shop is three hundred miles away?
2) If L is the number of people that think that Alex Trebek is a complete loser, and M is the number of people who thought that Alex Trebek was a complete loser before he shaved his mustache, and D is the percentage of the American population that thinks that Jessica Simpson must have profound dementia secondary to tertiary syphilis, then how much money would Jessica Simpson lose for her charity if she were to compete on Celebrity Jeopardy?
3) If a stitch in time saves nine, and n is the number of chickens that you count before they're hatched, and cheese is a tasty dairy treat, then how many are saved by 6n stitches to the power of cheese?

Is that the Borg Queen from the Voyager series? It doesn't look quite like Alice Krige from the movie.
