| May 8, 2012 at 19:29 | comment | added | Mitch | @Kris: Answerers are -not- entitled to an opinion. Answers on SE have the expectation of having some authority (even if unfounded, unverifiable), they should not be opinions here (perfectly OK for comments, but not for answers). This answer was stated with question marks, which are a sign of not knowing or doubt in one's opinion. Without the explicit question marks. "We don't say 'no knowledge.' That just isn't right."... this is not an opinion chat room. It is my opinion that this question doesn't even attempt to answer the question. If you doubt this you should bring it up on meta. | |
| May 8, 2012 at 18:53 | comment | added | Kris | @Mitch The answerer is entitled to an opinion. Until we have "evidence" to the contrary, we do not down vote. In any case, we don't say "no knowledge." That just isn't right. | |
| May 8, 2012 at 18:42 | comment | added | Mitch | @Kris: Desist? Next? Trust? I really don't understand what you're referring to. Can you elaborate? | |
| May 8, 2012 at 17:49 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | @Kris,Mitch: I've downvoted this answer because I think it's wrong. The possibility that bureaux de change are or were predominantly run by francophones seems unlikely to me, and user20908 offers no evidence or even rationale to support the claim. | |
| May 8, 2012 at 16:39 | comment | added | Kris | @Mitch I desist from making sweeping statements on individuals. (cf. next answer, and probably those that follow in time.) I'd like to trust your words about not down voting, though. | |
| May 8, 2012 at 16:10 | comment | added | Mitch | @Kris: I usually don't downvote answers (or questions). I will comment hoping that it will be edited. If the question is particularly inappropriate as this one currently is (doesn't answer the questions, shows no knowledge of the situation), then I flag it. So other people have downvoted it. I don't know their reasons. | |
| May 8, 2012 at 14:33 | comment | added | Kris | @Mitch When you ask lots of questions, do you look for a response before you down vote? | |
| May 8, 2012 at 13:09 | comment | added | Mitch | Is this a question? Or is it just the suggestion for a possible answer? I don't know? | |
| May 8, 2012 at 11:53 | comment | added | Kris | @Widor Please also see edit. | |

| May 8, 2012 at 11:46 | comment | added | Kris | No. I'd have stated in my answer if I had any, rather than starting as "possibly." | |
| May 8, 2012 at 11:28 | comment | added | Widor | Do you have any evidence to suggest that most Bureaux de change are run by French-speakers? | |
